Cilantro Chipotle Creamy Steak Topping

The Laughing Cow® provided me with product for this review. However, thoughts and opinions are my own and do not necessarily reflect those of the brand.

Serve this recipe with these Thin Sliced Sirloin Steaks

Last week I received a fun “summer snacking package” in the mail from Laughing Cow Cheese. I know you have heard of Laughing Cow! An abundance of yummy flavors (Creamy Swiss…Garlic and Herb…Queso Fresco & Chipotle) and the creamy consistency is the best. Ahem, especially at 35 calories a wedge! 

In the past I have used Laughing Cow for stuffed mushrooms…they are delicious and cuts out the need for cream cheese or other high fat ingredients. With this package, I was charged with making a fun new recipe with the products for the summer! I was sent three flavors, so I am challenging myself to come up with a fun new recipe for each.

First up: Queso Fresco & Chipotle Laughing Cow Cheese. A fun and rich flavor with a slight amount of heat. My taste testers loved it (yes- mom and husband). I decided to make a creamy steak topping for this first go around. Although I did put the leftovers on my husbands sandwich today…and will likely be adding it to our eggs tomorrow morning. So many great uses!

Queso Fresco & Chipotle LC + Fresh Cilantro + 2 chipotle peppers blended….on top of a sirloin steak. So good! I’d love for you to leave a comment with YOUR favorite way to have Laughing Cow! Outside of making meals…I love it with carrots : )
