Can anyone tell me what is the equivalent of chihuahua cheese? I can't even find it at the latin supermarket

Answer 1

Here's a very good page about Mexican cheeses and their substitutes. Asadero, Oaxaca, and Chihuahua are three separate and different cheeses; Chihuahua can be substituted by Monterey Jack, muenster, and other mild cheddars.

Answer 2

Queso Chihuahua or queso menonita (is what we call it in Chihuahua) after the Mennonite communities of northern Mexico that first produced it.

Asadero, which means "roaster" or "broiler," has favorable melting properties. Don't use Queso Fresco since it doesn't melt it only becomes soft and is ONLY USED for toppings. If the reciepe calls for Queso Chihuahua use Asadero or Queso Blanco (Oaxaca)

Answer 3

This cheese is also known as asadero, a white cows milk cheese of mexico. very similar to an unaged monterey jack cheese. This would be availble in super markets, the asadero may be harder to find. keep looking at the specialty stores.

another name is oaxaca

Answer 4

It is in my supermarket as Asadero cheese. Sometimes it is called Oaxaca as well. If you still can't find it, mix monterrey jack and mozzarella. It is not a perfect match, but it works.

Answer 5

I don't know about the rest of the country, but in the Midwest it's usually marketed as "Queso Fresco" and comes both shredded and in round bricks.

Answer 6

What?! You're eating cheese made out of chihuahuas? Poor little taco bell doggies! You sick person...LOL

Answer 7

You cant buy it at the supermarket
And there is no equivalent.
You have to scrape it off the chihuahua.

Answer 8

You should be able to find it in any hispanic grocery. If you don't see it ask for it.

Many mainstream grocery stores carry it in areas of high hispanic population.

Answer 9

maybe it's really small cheese
