EXPERT TIPS

Expert Tips

Spray the knife before you use it to keep it from sticking to the soft cheese. Keeping the cheese product refrigerated until ready to cut also prevents sticking.

Very disappointing. There was very little flavor in the cheese, and the taco seasoning in the bread was overpowering. I like the idea, but this needs major tweaking before I make this again.
