Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 1 to 1.5 cups cottage cheese Use low fat or full fat depending on your preference.
  • 1 to 2 tablespoons milk As needed for blending.
  • 1 to 2 teaspoons taco seasoning Or a mix of chili powder and cumin.
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • Pinch salt Use sparingly, it can get salty quickly.
  • 1/2 cup shredded cheddar or pepper jack Optional for extra cheesiness.
  • diced green chiles, salsa, jalapenos, hot sauce Optional for added flavor.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Add cottage cheese, seasoning, garlic powder, and a splash of milk to a blender. Blend until completely smooth. If it looks too thick, add a tiny bit more milk and blend again.
  2. Pour into a small saucepan and warm on low heat, stirring often.
  3. If adding shredded cheese, stir it in while it warms until melted.
  4. Taste and adjust seasoning as desired.

Notes

Leftovers thicken in the fridge; simply reheat gently and stir in a splash of milk to restore consistency. Serve with chips, veggies, or use as a sauce.
