Bake, uncovered, 5-10 minutes longer or until cheese is melted. Top with sour cream and onions.
Recommended wine: Pinot Noir, Riesling, Sparkling Rose
Pinot Noir, Riesling, and Sparkling rosé are my top picks for Mexican. Acidic white wines like riesling or low-tannin reds like pinot noir can work well with Mexican dishes. Sparkling rosé is a safe pairing too. One wine you could try is SeaGlass rosé of Pinot Noir. It has 4.4 out of 5 stars and a bottle costs about 12 dollars.
SeaGlass Rose of Pinot Noir
A beautiful reflection of Monterey County’s pristine coastal terroir, the Rosé opens with fragrant wild strawberries and dried rose petals on the nose. Flavors of juicy cherry andripe raspberry are balanced by refreshing acidity and a crisp, clean finish. This vibrant wine is a diverse menu partner, pairing exceptionally well with prosciutto and melon or crab cakes with spicy aioli.
