Equipment

  • Blender
  • microwave
  • mixing bowl

Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup low-fat cottage cheese blended for smoother texture, optional
  • 4 tablespoons enchilada sauce
  • 4 oz rotisserie chicken breast shredded
  • 4 tablespoons taco seasoning or 1 package taco seasoning mix
  • 1 cup red bell pepper diced (fresh or sautéed)
  • ¼ cup canned corn drained
  • ¼ cup black beans rinsed and drained
  • 1 oz shredded cheese Mexican blend or cheddar
  • Chopped cilantro for garnish
  • Avocado slices for garnish
  • Greek yogurt or sour cream for garnish

Instructions
 

  • Blend the cottage cheese: If you’d like, blend the cup of cottage cheese and enchilada sauce together in a high-speed blender, immersion blender, or food processor until smooth and creamy.
  • Add the chicken: In a small mixing bowl, combine the cottage cheese mixture, shredded chicken, and taco seasoning and stir to combine.
  • Add the veggies: Add the red bell pepper, corn, and black beans to the bowl and give everything a quick stir to coat the veggies in the cottage cheese mixture.
  • Heat it up: Divide the mixture into two microwave-safe bowls. Add shredded cheese to each, then microwave for 1-2 minutes until the cheese melts and the mixture is warmed through.
  • Garnish: Remove from the microwave and top the bowls with chopped fresh cilantro, creamy avocado slices, and a bit of sour cream or Greek yogurt. Enjoy!
