Ingredients

  • 1 cup cottage cheese
  • 1 cup loosely packed grated sharp cheddar
  • 1 tablespoon taco seasoning
  • Optional: 1 tablespoon green chilis

Instructions

  • Blend all ingredients until smooth.
  • Microwave directions: Add the dip to a microwave-safe bowl. Microwave on high for 30 seconds at a time, stirring in between until melted and warm.  Stove top directions: Pour into a small pan on the stove and heat over low, stirring occasionally until the mixture is melted.
  • Serve warm. Garnish with pico de gallo and cilantro if desired.

Notes

  • If your blender has difficulty incorporating the ingredients, add milk or half and half, a tablespoon at a time. 
  • Grate your own cheese instead of buying pre-shredded cheese for the smoothest texture. Pre-shredded cheese has an anticaking agent that can make it clump up when melted.
