Mexican-Style Marinated Cheese is a vibrant and flavorful appetizer made by soaking cubes or slices of firm cheese, like queso fresco or panela, in a zesty marinade of olive oil, vinegar, herbs, garlic, and chili. The cheese absorbs the bold, tangy flavors, becoming an irresistible snack or starter. Often garnished with fresh herbs or served alongside crackers or tortillas, it’s perfect for parties, tapas-style spreads, or a spicy twist on charcuterie. It’s simple, festive, and packed with personality.

Ingredients

• 8 oz Monterey Jack or cheddar cheese, cut into ½-inch cubes

• ¼ cup olive oil

• 2 tbsp white wine vinegar or lime juice

• 2 tbsp chopped fresh cilantro

• 1 jalapeño, thinly sliced

• 2 cloves garlic, minced

• 1 tsp chili powder

• ½ tsp ground cumin

• ¼ tsp smoked paprika

• Salt and black pepper, to taste

Directions

• In a medium bowl or glass jar, whisk together olive oil, vinegar (or lime juice), garlic, chili powder, cumin, paprika, salt, and pepper.
• Gently fold in cheese cubes, cilantro, and jalapeño slices until well coated.
• Cover and refrigerate at least 2 hours, or up to 2 days, stirring occasionally so the cheese absorbs the marinade evenly.
• Before serving, let sit at room temperature for 15–20 minutes.
• Serve with crackers, bread, or vegetables.

Notes

• For extra kick, add a pinch of cayenne or a splash of hot sauce to the marinade.
• This recipe works well with mozzarella or panela cheese, too.
• Keep refrigerated and use within 3 days.

What I Love About This Recipe

It takes just minutes to blend and tastes even better after chilling a few hours. The dill and lemon make it taste extra bright, and it’s naturally vegan and gluten-free if you omit the bread.
