Food is deeply ingrained in cultural identity, and is one way to learn about a community’s heritage, familial customs and values. In the U.S., Mexican food is one of the most popular cuisines, with 1 in 10 restaurants serving Mexican, according to recent findings from the Pew Research Center. This trend reflects an expanding Mexican American population, with 37.2 million people or 11.2% of the U.S. population tracing their ancestry back to Mexico.
No not American cheese. They don’t use really any yellow cheeses in Mexico. On a taco, if there is cheese it’s generally Queso Fresco, a white cheese that doesn’t melt.
But in Americanized dishes they often add yellow cheese. Shit even at the store they sell “Mexican Blend” bags of cheese with yellow cheese lol
Of course, just because it isn’t “authentic” doesn’t mean it isn’t good. Know the difference sure but you can still enjoy both.
