asadero
Mexican melting cheese
Asadero is a mild, white Mexican cheese that melts smoothly, making it ideal for quesadillas, queso fundido, and other dishes requiring stringy, gooey cheese.
The name comes from the Spanish word for "roasting place," reflecting its use in grilled or baked preparations.
The quesadilla was stuffed with asadero and poblano peppers.
