When it comes to the most popular cheese for taco night, Mexican Cheese Blend took 44.21% of the vote in Daily Meal’s poll. According to Izzy Cooking, the bags of shredded cheese that you can pick up from your local grocery store typically include a mixture of cheddar, Monterey jack, queso quesadilla, and asadero cheeses.
One of those — queso — took the second slot, with 16.89%. Queso quesadilla cheese originated in Chihuahua, Mexico, according to Cheesemakers. The cheese has a low melting point, making it a creamy addition to your food. (Plus, it shares a name with a delicious dip.) In third place, with 15.89%, was cheddar cheese.
Close behind in fourth place was cotija cheese, with 14.57%. This creamy, crumbly cheese adds a little extra salt to tacos, per Isabel Eats. Finally, in last place, with only 8.44% of the vote, was Monterey jack. Though this cheese is often used in Mexican blends, it evidently doesn’t hold up as well by itself.
