I signed on for the Cacique Cook-Off campaign! Ten bloggers were chosen to take a list of ten ingredients and use at least four of them to concoct a fantastic edible experience. This is easy with Cacique because their products high quality, the real deal – made with an over 40 year old family recipe!

Let’s get ready to CRUMBLE! I love it, so cute!

Alrighty, here is the list of what I had to choose from:

Cacique Grated Cotija
Cacique Crema Mexicana Agria

These are what makes the recipes come alive! Cacique Cheeses and Creams are gluten-free, and made with fresh and natural ingredients, such as Grade A milk and Sea Salt. Those natural ingredients make all the difference when it comes to taste and flavor.

Other ingredients I had to choose from:

Green Onion, Zucchini
Ground Meat (beef, chicken, turkey or pork)
Bread Crumbs
Chipotle Peppers in Adobo Sauce
Hibiscus Flowers
Cumin (ground or whole)
Celery

I’m still working on eating healthy whenever I can, so I wanted to come up with an easy, but tasty lunch idea that felt plentiful, yet decadent. Here’s what I came up with!
