This photo reminds me of all the shitty restaurants that put the cheese on top of an omelette instead of inside it. And some of them are even using american slices.
American slices are a food crime in and of themselves already. If it doesn’t even meet the legal definition for being called “cheese”, it has no business going around and pretending.
I’ll make an exception for vegan cheese alternatives if they’re made out of natural ingredients but this shit is literally plastic.
American cheese is cheese according to some links people posted. It is adequate for grilled cheese sandwiches.
No, legally it used to be called “pasteurized processed cheese product”, although apparently they have replaced “processed” with “prepared” nowadays, likely because it sounds slightly less artificial.
Either way, it definitely does not meet the legal standard to simply be called “cheese”.
I’d argue it’s the best for grilled cheese sandwiches because it stays melted way longer. Other types of cheese I’ve tried get a weird texture when they cool off. I don’t particularly like them anyway due to the macros being garbage and I’m certainly open to suggestions but this has been my experience.
What the fuck
I’m down.
The beans and rice bowls look pretty good, although I’ll bet they’re not spicy enough.
The cheese things… I can’t even figure out what’s supposed to be in there.
My guess is pollo fundido. It’s like a chimichanga covered in cheese and creamy sauce.
Those are slices of American Cheese, which is a pasteurized processed cheese food. Not actual cheese.
It makes a nostalgic grilled cheese but whatever is underneath in the pic, it doesn’t deserve that blanket.
American Cheese is processed, however it is real cheese.

It is also a damn near magic ingredient for anyone that doesn’t have access to pure sodium citrate, and wants a silky smooth cheese sauce that won’t break even when you put it in the fridge and reheat in the microwave. Just make your cheese sauce as normal with whatever cheeses you want. Once you’ve gotten it melted and combined, add a single slice of American cheese. The flavor won’t change in the slightest since American cheese has a fairly mild flavor, but the texture absolutely will change to that perfect nacho cheese sauce texture everyone knows and loves.
Yup, I moved to an Iowa town with a lot of hispanic representation and was excited that there was a couple mexican restaurants in my area. The one everyone seems to love isn’t THIS bad but its 100% made for white people “mexican” food. Thankfully, the hole the wall a couple blocks away is authentic.
