Re: [CnD] a dish I make and some questions
I find that putting grated cheese melts just fine on top of scrambled eggs. Your cheese probably won't melt if you wait to put the cheese on top of your taco fixings and don't heat the whole thing. I use picante sauce, Pace, in three strengths of heat. This salsa has chopped vegetables in it. Tomorrow I am fixing a taco salad with ground beef, shredded carrot, sour cream and guacamole and of course Mexican four blend cheese. Of course the Pecante sauce is mixed with the hamburger.

I have read this is because they are coated with a substance that helps to prevent them from sticking.
