About Queso dorado
Queso Dorado, translating to "Golden Cheese," is a rich and flavorful dish with origins in Mexican cuisine. Traditionally crafted by frying or pan-searing a thick slice of cheese, often panela or queso fresco, until it achieves a golden, crispy exterior while remaining soft and melty inside. This versatile dish can be served alone, alongside fresh salsa, or incorporated into tacos and other dishes. Its protein-rich base makes it a satisfying option, but it’s important to note its fat content, depending on the type of cheese used and cooking method. Opting for low-fat varieties or pairing it with fresh vegetables can make it a more balanced choice. Queso Dorado celebrates the classic Mexican love of cheese, offering a decadent treat in moderation while showcasing minimal, wholesome ingredients.
