About Queso gratinado
Queso Gratinado is a rich and flavorful dish originating from Mexican cuisine, often served as an indulgent appetizer or side. It features a base of melted cheeses like Oaxaca or Chihuahua, blended to perfection for a creamy and stretchy texture. Typically baked until golden and bubbly, this dish is often topped with ingredients such as sautéed chorizo, roasted poblano peppers, or fresh herbs, adding layers of smokiness and zest. While Queso Gratinado offers a satisfying source of calcium and protein from its cheese content, it is also high in saturated fats and sodium, making it a dish best enjoyed in moderation. Pairing it with fresh vegetables or whole-grain tortilla chips can enhance its nutritional value. Balancing portion size and choosing nutrient-rich toppings can help make this beloved comfort food a more wholesome treat.
