We've all been there – it's well past dinner, the house is quiet, and that familiar late-night hunger starts creeping in. Enter the Cheesy Soft Tacos Con Queso, a delightfully indulgent creation that bridges the gap between authentic Mexican cuisine and pure comfort food.

What makes these tacos particularly perfect for midnight snacking is their simplicity. Using basic pantry staples and premade seasonings, you can transform humble ingredients into something that feels special, even indulgent. The warm, slightly crispy tortillas, pickled jalapenos, fresh onion, and generous helping of Britannia The Laughing Cow Pizza Cheese Blend - Diced create a texture and flavour combination that hits all the right notes when you're seeking late-night satisfaction.

Unlike traditional tacos, these sauce-laden creations embrace excess, featuring not one but two forms of cheese – melted directly into the tortilla and drizzled generously on top in a smooth queso sauce.

Whisk together cornstarch, milk, and water in a separate bowl until smooth.

Stir in salt, cumin, and cayenne. Adjust seasonings as desired. Remove from heat.
Grease the baking dish and place the tortillas side by side brushing with more oil to ensure they're well-coated.

Place uncovered in a 180 C oven for 3-5 minutes, until soft and warm. Remove and cover to keep warm.
