Definitely do not use mozzarella! Once, I was making some mini nachos, and I used mozzarella since that was the only cheese I had in the house. The smell of mozzarella melted at that high temperature was absolutely disgusting; I couldn't bring myself to eat it.<br><b>References : </b><br> I’d stick with a blend of Monterey Jack and Medium-Sharp Cheddar.

Queso Fresco is about as muy autentico as tacos and burritos get - and both dishes are so Tex-Mexed, that authenticity is best left to debate societies; go for flavor, and hang the authenticity Substitutes - in texture, though not in flavor - would be Feta, Ricotta Salata (made from the leftovers of the Ricotta process), and Wensleydale Cheddar. Monterey Jack, and mild Cheddars are good variations, and will actually melt and thus substitute for Queso Blanco in dishes calling for that, such as Tex-Mex style chiles rellenos ( autentico is to stuff with meat and veggies, then roast instead of batter and fry) and rolled enchiladas.<br><b>References : </b><br> scrgrl is right.

Boil the chicken with mexican or regular oregono,chili powder. When you chicken is done and cool shred chicken. If you know how to make spanish rice, use the chicken water fo broth..When all tortillas done put then under a damp oil. Cook other meats the same way.

Queso Fresco works very well. It depends what kind of tacos you're making, actually. for regular ground beef tacos, I like a mix of cheddar and jack.<br><b>References : </b><br> Monterey Jack works but not Mozzarella.
