Queso Fresco

$3.798 Oz

"‘Kay, so... you’re scouting TJ’s cheese case for fresh ideas to top your tacos. You could stick with your go-to, Shredded Mild Cheddar ‘cause that’s an easy win and sure to be tasty. But this time, you’re thinking of something a little more... authentic. Then you spy Trader Joe’s Queso Fresco. It’s hard to miss the bright blue label adorned with colorful, confetti-like flower petals.

The appeal of this Queso is undeniable, from first glance. It’s a fresh cheese (Queso Fresco = fresh cheese!) whose gently compacted curds hold their shape when cut into wedges, yet easily crumble over the street- style tacos you’ve constructed with TJ’s Carne Asada Autentica on Mini Sonora Style Tortillas. The mild, creamy flavor of this un-aged, semi-soft cheese is a delicious complement to the piquant meat wrapped inside.

Suddenly, your cheese-wheels are turning... You could crumble this Queso Fresco over Traditional Style Fat Free Refried Beans, salad, or soup... You could use it to top Enchiladas, Spanish Style Rice, or Mexican Style Riced Cauliflower... The good news is, you’ll find Trader Joe’s Queso Fresco in our refrigerators, every day— giving you ample opportunities to try as many possibilities as your creativity can muster!"
