Equipment

Ingredients

Instructions

  • Add cottage cheese, diced green chiles and taco seasoning to a blender or food processor and blend until smooth.
  • Transfer mixture to a microwave safe bowl, add pepper jack cheese and microwave in 20-30 second increments, stirring vigorously between, until cheese is melted. I did a total of 90 seconds.
  • Add toppings of choice (tomato, cilantro, jalapeño) and enjoy with tortilla chips, veggies, pretzels, whatever you love!

Notes

  • Don't overheat: If you overheat the cottage cheese, it will separate. Don't microwave more than 20-30 seconds at a time.
  • Stovetop: You can also melt the cheese on the stove on LOW heat, stirring constantly until cheese is melted.
  • Blend well: You will likely need to blend the cottage cheese longer than you think. The more thoroughly you blend, the smoother your queso will be.
