Ingredients

Units Scale

Taco Seasoning:

  • 1/2 teaspoon taco seasoning

Instructions

  1. Blend Cottage Cheese: Add cottage cheese to a blender and blend until smooth.
  2. Layer Ingredients: Transfer the blended cottage cheese to a microwave-safe bowl. Top with shredded cheddar cheese and taco seasoning.
  3. Microwave: Microwave for 1 minute. Stir well and continue microwaving in 30-second intervals, stirring in between, until the queso is smooth (about 2 minutes).
