Melted Cheese Appetizer
Queso FundidoThe most common way to serve this simple but delicious appetizer that is popular throughout Mexico, is to place the plate of oven-melted cheese in the center of the table so guests can serve themselves. The cheese can also be melted in individual plates or ramekins and set at each place. Either way, you scoop a bit of cheese into a tortilla, roll it up, and eat! A bowl of Fresh Salsa Mexicana accompanies the cheese.
