Cottage Cheese Queso Is The Tasty Trend To Upgrade Your Go-To Dip
BY STEPHANIE FRIEDMAN
Cottage cheese, a curdled milk product, is an easy-to-use, high-protein ingredient. Its mild flavor and creamy consistency are perfect for creating a dip, like queso.
With 14 grams of protein per half cup, cottage cheese can be mixed with other cheeses to create a queso dip that can be enjoyed with veggies, chips, tacos, nachos, and more.
To make it you’ll need cottage cheese, shredded cheese, and seasonings. You can use premixed taco or fajita seasoning or create your own blend.
Feel free to add fresh ingredients like cilantro, jalapeños, diced green chilis, or chopped chipotle peppers. Put all your ingredients in a blender and blend until smooth.
To make this dip resemble true queso, microwave the mixture in 30-second intervals, stirring in between. Add toppings like pickled onions, diced tomatoes, or cooked ground meat.
