Cooking people. Maybe dumb question, but what kind of cheese would you use in a ground meat empanada? I love On the Border empanadas

and obviously won't be able to match them, but what kind of cheese would go in something like that? Mont. Jack? It's basically similar to taco seasoning but I usually use cheddar for tacos and don't feel cheddar would work for an empanada.

I like mozz in my empanadas. If beef, I'd try asiago -- nm* - con_carne Jan 5, 14:46
You can get a Mexican mix of cheese or make your own with Monterey Jack, Cheddar, Queso Blanco and Asadero. -- nm - Krusty Jan 5, 14:02 3
- I know bagged stuff doesn't melt as well due to dusty coating so was going to try to make something. Thanks for the recommendations. - sycor Jan 5, 14:03 2
  - Yeah, the bagged stuff is not the best option but the easiest. I would get small blocks and shred it myself. -- nm - Krusty Jan 5, 14:06 1
    - That's usually what I do when I make the Red Lobster biscuits or other recipes. Fresh is better. If I'm being lazy and making a quesadilla - sycor Jan 5, 14:08
