Notes

  • Smoothness: If you prefer a super smooth texture, make sure to blend the cottage cheese well, or even use a food processor for extra creaminess.
  • Favorite toppings: Feel free to add your favorite taco toppings like diced avocado, black olives, fresh cilantro, or green onions for a burst of flavor. You can even add some ground beef for extra protein.
  • Adjust the spice: If you’re not into spicy, leave out the jalapeños and use mild taco seasoning.
  • Serving tip: This easy taco dip is great warm, but if you have leftovers, it can be served chilled as a dip or spread on sandwiches or wraps.

Storage instructions

  • Refrigerate: Store any leftover dip in an airtight container (like ytour cottage cheese container) to keep it fresh for up to 3 days.
  • Reheat: If you want to enjoy it warm again, simply microwave it for about 30 seconds or until heated through. Stir halfway for even warmth.
  • Don’t freeze: It’s not ideal for freezing due to the texture of cottage cheese, but it’s fine to store in the fridge for a few days.
