Equipment

Ingredients

Queso

  • 1 cup low fat cottage cheese
  • ¼ cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 2 Tbsp taco seasoning

Toppings

  • pico de gallo
  • cilantro

To Serve

  • tortilla chips or chopped veggies

Instructions

  • In a blender, blend the cottage cheese until smooth.
  • To a microwave safe bowl, mix together the cottage cheese, cheese, and taco seasoning.
  • Microwave for 1-2 minutes, stirring halfway through, until warmed through and melted.
  • To serve, add a generous scoop of pico de gallo on top and a handful of cilantro. Serve with tortilla chips and chopped vegetables for dipping. Enjoy!

Notes

  • Pico de gallo: Use pre-made pico de gallo from the grocery store, or use fresh (refrigerated) salsa.
  • Storage: Cover leftovers and keep refrigerated for up to 3 days. Microwave for 1-2 minutes, stirring occasionally, to re-warm before eating.
  • Cheese: For more of a kick, swap cheddar cheese for pepper jack or a spiced Tex-Mex blend.
