As a fan of World cheeses, I'm not a big fan of "Mexican cheese". I
think they all taste pretty much alike. I usta live around the corner
from a Mexican fruit stand. I bought all their cheeses .....once! The
Mexicans didn't even bother to copy Cabrales, the classic Spanish blue
cheese.

Pepper Jack is NOT a Mexican cheese. It's basically Monteray Jack
loaded with hot peppers and MJ is definitely a US cheese.

You can buy shredded Mexican Cheese blends.

I figure they can blend 'em together cuz, like I sed, to me, they all
taste the same. That's my story and I'm sticking to it!
