Queso Fundido

Translating to “melted cheese,“ queso fundido is a classic Mexican party appetizer typically made of two components: bubbling-hot cheese and savory spiced meat sauce. In our main-course riff, ground beef is loaded up with chili powder, garlic, and cumin and served with tender cilantro cauliflower “rice.“ A pool of molten queso—scratch-made with cream cheese, cheddar, Monterey Jack, and roasted green chiles—is at the ready for drizzling and dunking. Spicy roasted tomato salsa ties it all together.

Sometimes a frosty shake that’s rich and creamy really hits the spot. These two varieties deliver the flavors of chocolate brownie and vanilla cake, with the added bonus of 12 grams of protein and only 2 grams of net carbs per serving. Made with coconut milk, cocoa powder, vanilla beans, plant-based protein blend, and MCT oil, these vegan shakes are sweetened with monk fruit and stevia extract.
