“To get the most authentic taste when making traditional Hispanic dishes, Cacique’s products are the first step to adding that touch of authenticity that conventional pre-shredded Mexican blend cheeses cannot,” says Food Network Celebrity Chef Aarón Sánchez. “What makes this recipe stand apart from other enchilada dishes are the authentic flavors you get from the buttery sweet richness of the Crema Mexicana, the nutty and buttery flavor of Queso Quesadilla – a beautiful melting cheese, and the traditional spicy zest of Chorizo.”
