There’s History In These Cheese Pulls

By Christina Morales, The New York Times Sofia Head grew up watching her grandfather lead the carne asadas, her family cookouts, in Monterrey, Mexico. He manned a charcoal grill for hours, cooking carne asada for dozens of relatives. One of her favorite dishes was his queso fundido: melted Chihuahua cheese in a cast-iron skillet that he left on his grill until the queso’s edges became crisp and the center was bubbly. “We couldn’t have a carne asada without the queso fundido,” said Head, who holds smaller carne asadas at her home in Fort Worth, Texas, where she’ll occasionally make the side dish with diced jalapeños and chorizo. Queso fundido is a popular appetizer at many Mexican and Tex-Mex restaurants in the United States.
