Queso Fundido | Ready To Eat Meal

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.

Treat yourself while keeping keto with this decadent cheesecake. The filling combines strawberries and vanilla with cream cheese, sour cream, eggs, and a zero-calorie monk fruit sweetener, which is then poured into a vanilla almond flour crust. It’s finished with a sprinkling of freeze-dried strawberries and then baked until creamy, luscious, and satisfying.
