Example Sentences
- "The day before, prepare the tortillas for the chalupitas and the quesos."
- "The ceviche is very good with just the right amount of spice; and quesos with chorizos and flour tortillas are a must."
- "It's something I call an "enchalupa." It's a flour tortilla deep-fried with the chalupa 'mold' so it forms a cruncy-fried bowl. Layer a touch of our queso dip, chicken, tomatoes, onion and enchilada sauce. Top with shredded cheese and pop it under the salamander til everything is melty and delicious. I like it with sour cream and cilantro on top. Serve this with beans and rice, and BAM! Instant lunch for the Chef."
- "All quesos, of course, are not created equal. You can have the high-rent, artisanal versions; I’ll take the low road. Snobbery has no place in my personal connoisseurship, since my quesos of choice are (almost) invariably made of processed cheese."
