  • Total Time: 6 minutes
  • Yield: About 2 cups (serves 4-6 as a dip)

Ingredients

Main Ingredients

  • 2 cups cottage cheese (full fat or fat-free)
  • 1 Tablespoon low-sodium taco seasoning
  • 3/4 cup freshly shredded Mexican cheese or Colby jack cheese

Toppings (Optional)

  • Cilantro
  • Red onion
  • Pico de gallo
  • Pickled jalapeño

Homemade Taco Seasoning (Optional)

  • 2 tsp chili powder
  • 1/2 tsp ground cumin
  • 1/2 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/4 tsp oregano
  • 1/4 tsp salt

Instructions

  1. Blend Cottage Cheese and Seasoning: Add the 2 cups of cottage cheese and 1 tablespoon of low-sodium taco seasoning into a blender. Blend until the mixture is smooth and creamy, ensuring the seasoning is evenly distributed.
  2. Melt Cheese with Cottage Cheese Mixture: Transfer the blended cottage cheese mixture to a microwave-safe bowl. Stir in 3/4 cup of freshly shredded Mexican or Colby jack cheese.
