What Cheese Goes with Chipotle Chicken? (10 Cheeses)
Chipotle chicken is a great option for a weeknight dinner because it's quick, easy, and delicious. But if you're looking for something to pair with it that goes beyond the classic guacamole, consider cheese!Cheese has a strong flavor that can be paired with just about any dish—and especially well with chipotle chicken. The juicy, spicy sauce of the chicken will cut through the flavor of the cheese and help balance out some of its richness. If you're having trouble deciding which cheese to use, consider one of these two options:- Monterey jack cheese: This mild white cheese has a buttery texture and is great for pairing with spicy foods like chipotle chicken because it doesn't overpower the dish's other flavors. It also works well in quesadillas or melted on top of a taco salad.- Pepper Jack: Pepper Jack is the spicy cousin of Monterey jack cheese—it's got a bolder taste and texture than its milder relative, but still isn't overpowering enough to compete with chipotle chicken's rich sauce. Use this cheese as an ingredient in tacos or quesadillas or as an accompaniment on top of salads or baked potatoes!
