Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 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
  • 1 tbsp taco seasoning
  • 1 tbsp ranch seasoning
  • 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

Method
 

  1. Gather all ingredients and allow dairy products to come to room temperature.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, blend Greek yogurt and cottage cheese until smooth.
  3. Fold in shredded cheddar cheese until evenly distributed.
  4. Add drained Rotel, taco seasoning, and ranch seasoning. Mix thoroughly.
  5. Stir vigorously for 30 seconds to fully combine flavors. Taste and adjust seasonings if desired.
  6. Transfer to a serving bowl immediately or refrigerate for 30 minutes before serving.

Notes

For dairy-free, use cashew cream and nutritional yeast instead of cheese. For vegan, swap Greek yogurt with coconut cream, cottage cheese with silken tofu, and use vegan cheese. Always drain Rotel to avoid watery texture.
