Scale
- 12 oz. plain nonfat Greek yogurt
- 4 oz. blended cottage cheese
- 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
- 10 oz. mild Rotel (diced tomatoes and green chilies, drained slightly)

- (Optional) Plain skyr or low-fat sour cream instead of Greek yogurt
- (Optional) Cream cheese instead of cottage cheese
- (Optional) Monterey Jack, pepper jack, or Mexican cheese blend
- (Optional) Fresh diced tomatoes with jalapeños instead of Rotel

- In a large mixing bowl, blend Greek yogurt and cottage cheese until smooth.
- Fold in shredded cheddar cheese until evenly distributed.
