Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup low-fat cottage cheese
- 4 ounces reduced-fat cheddar cheese, shredded
- 1/4 cup milk (or water for thicker dip)
- 1 tablespoon taco seasoning
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/4 teaspoon onion powder
- 1/4 cup Rotel (diced tomatoes and green chilies, drained if preferred)
- 1/4 cup nutritional yeast (optional, for extra cheesy flavor)
Instructions
- Place the cottage cheese, shredded cheddar cheese, milk, taco seasoning, garlic powder, onion powder, and nutritional yeast (if using) into a high-speed blender.
- Blend on high until the mixture is completely smooth and creamy. Stop and scrape down the sides as needed. This should take about 1 to 2 minutes.
- Pour the blended mixture into a microwave-safe bowl.
- Stir in the drained Rotel.
- Microwave on high for 60 to 90 seconds, stirring halfway through, until the queso is hot and bubbly.
- Serve immediately with tortilla chips or fresh vegetables for dipping.
Notes
- For a thicker dip, start with less milk and add more only if the blender struggles to process the ingredients.
- If you prefer a richer flavor, substitute half of the cottage cheese with plain Greek yogurt.
- You can add cooked ground beef to this recipe for a heartier, protein-packed meal addition.
