Monterey Jack is a staple found in many American recipes. As for authentic Mexican, it’s most likely made with queso fresco. A cheese made from raw cow's milk or a mixture of cow and goat milk.

In this recipe, I use a combination of pepper jack and white cheddar as well as cream cheese.

How to serve queso?

It’s important to keep it warm so that it stays creamy. It will start to solidify once it is removed from heat.
