Ingredients
  

  • 2 cups cottage cheese full fat or fat free
  • ¾ cup freshly shredded Mexican cheese or Colby jack cheese
  • 1 tablespoon low-sodium taco seasoning
  • For toppings: cilantro, red onion, Pico de Gallo, pickled jalapeño, extra shredded cheese, cherry tomatoes or green chiles.

Instructions
 

  • Add the cottage cheese and taco seasoning to a blender and blend until smooth.
  • Add to a microwave safe bowl and stir in the shredded cheese. Microwave in 30-second increments, stopping to stir between each, until the mixture is melted and smooth. This takes about 60 seconds. Be careful not to over-cook.
  • Top the queso with cilantro, red onion, or your favorite Mexican toppings. Serve with fresh vegetables or tortilla chips.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4 days. Reheat in the microwave, oven, or on the stove until warmed through.
