Cottage Cheese “Queso” – High Protein!
If you’ve been side-eyeing cottage cheese on the internet lately, this recipe is about to change your mind! This viral cottage cheese queso dip blends up silky smooth, heats in minutes, and somehow tastes like real, cheesy queso – not diet food. It’s high-protein, wildly easy, and perfect for dipping, drizzling, or eating straight off a spoon.
Ingredients
Instructions
- Step 1
In a blender or food process (this can also be done in a bowl with an immersion blender), add in the cottage cheese, cheddar cheese and taco seasoning.
- Step 2
Blend until creamy and no lumps remain. I needed to add about a tablespoon of water to thin mine out a little.
- Step 3
Pour into a bowl and microwave in 15 second increments, stirring in between. I microwaved mine for about a minute total. You want to stir in between though to avoid the cheese curdling. Season with salt as desired and enjoy!
Notes
- Step 4
*If you want this to be a little lighter, you can start with just 1/4 cup of cheddar and add more later as needed
- Step 5
Storage Instructions – Store leftover queso in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat gently in the microwave, stirring often.
