18. Oaxacan Cheese!
Sun Sep 10, 2023, 11:48 PM
Sep 2023

Oaxaca is wonderful, imagine a low calorie (still cheese so not really low) mozzarella cheese with a buttery taste. Better yet, if it is the melting cheese and you make nachos, it stays cheese and doesn't turn to half grease in the microwave. Queso Quesadilla cheese will do this too.

Here is a recipe for brilliant nachos. First open a jar of pickled jalapeno slices and add some sugar and let that soak for 15 or more minutes. Get the big round tostada chips and arrange them on a plate. This makes big wonderful nachos with less leakage to the plate. Then grate the cheese, put on some sliced onions and the now sweet jalapenos.

This will microwave wonderfully and the onions should end up half way between fresh and glassy. Yum!
