Recipe: Gringo Queso Taco

This is no ordinary taco. This is that cheesy, crispy snack sizzling on the grill at festivals, the one that makes everyone stop and stare. The Gringo Quesotaco may be small, but it's huge in flavor. Picture a golden cheese crust fused to a soft tortilla, filled with juicy taco beef, and served with creamy guacamole and a spicy relish on the side. You serve it hot off the grill, straight into the guest’s hand, ready to be devoured. Perfect for snack menus, food stands, or as a surprising hit in a taco tasting. Not complicated, just irresistible.

Grilled Chicken Streetfood Taco with Rotisserie Chicken

Step-by-step preparation:

1. Melt the cheese: Place a generous handful of MexMix cheese directly onto a hot grill or non-stick pan. Let the cheese melt until it forms a bubbling, golden-brown crust. Lightly sprinkle with Fajita Magic seasoning.

2. Add the tortilla: Place a Flour Tortilla onto the melted cheese, press gently, and flip after a few seconds. The cheese crust will now stick to the tortilla.

3. Fill and fold: Spoon warm Taco Beef Halal onto the cheesy side. Fold the taco in half and press down lightly. Let it grill briefly for extra crunch.

4. To serve: Serve warm with a dollop of Guacamole and a spoonful of Pepper Relish on the side. Great for dipping or adding extra flavor inside.
