Everyone loves nachos because they are versatile and can be built to suit many differents tastes.

From Monterey, California I added canned pimentos for an added interesting sweet bite and from Austin, Texas I added radishes for fresh earthy crunch. Here are a list of options for Nacho toppings.

What Does Queso Blanco Taste Like?

Queso Blanco cheese has a mild milky flavor with a hint of salt. It can be eaten as a snack, on nachos, as a dip, and on many Mexican dishes. Some Queso Blanco Cheese does not melt well for dips. It is important to read the labels if you are using it for a dip.

What kind of cheese is needed for Queso Blanco?

White American cheese is best queso blanco because it melts and gets super creamy. Most Mexican restaurants use American Cheese in their Queso Blanco dips.

Note: I recommend avoiding using White Velveeta for this recipe as it has a very distinct flavor that will distract from the freshness of the toppings.

the Difference between Queso Blanco and Queso?

The answer is simple. Blanco means white. Queso Blanco is made from white cheese and Queso in made from yellow cheese.

How Do You Keep Nachos From Getting Soggy?

Nachos have to be eaten within a few minutes of being built. If you are making for a group or guests, I recommend having a Queso Blanco Nacho Bar and letting your guests build their own nachos. Queso Blanco can be kept hot and melty in a crock pot.

What Cocktails Pair with Cheesy Beef Nachos?

Of course any margarita is a perfect match, but the La Batanga made with lime, salt, and Mexican Coke will knock your socks straight off. Check out these tasty recipes.
