Re: mexican white cheese dip
It's probably queso asadero, used for queso fundido (melted cheese), and a little less than a carb an ounce just like most full fat cheeses. http://www.mexconnect.com/mex_/recip.../kgqueso1.html Thought this was a pretty good article about Mexican cheeses. Mexican cheeses are becoming more and more readily available in the States, and I've enjoyed bringing samples to my Spanish students as the flavors are unique and varied.Comment

Re: mexican white cheese dip
I picked some up the other day at Wal-Mart. I dip pork rinds in it sometimes. Anyway the kind I bought was over around the cream cheese section and where the cold tortilla shells and stuff are. It's called "La Banderita - Authentic Restauraunt Style Cheese Dip." You can get Mild or Hot. It has less than 1 gram carb per tbsp. Hope that helps.

Re: mexican white cheese dip
That cheese dip is the best stuff! It's excellent drizzled over some grilled chicken.
