In a small bowl, whisk together cottage cheese, adobo, lime juice, and honey until smooth. Set aside.

Tips & Tricks (5)
- Crisp Your Potatoes First 🥔Par-boil potatoes for 8-10 minutes before pan-frying to ensure a golden, crispy exterior while keeping the inside creamy, preventing soggy bowls.
- Bloom Your Spices in Fat 🌶️Toast the chili powder, cumin, and paprika in the beef fat for 30 seconds before adding meat to unlock their full aromatic potential and deepen flavor complexity.
- Temper Your Yogurt Mixture 🥄Slowly add warm beef broth or cooking liquid to your Greek yogurt mixture off-heat before combining with beef to prevent curdling and ensure a silky, creamy sauce.
- Make Crema Last-Minute Fresh 🥒Prepare your cilantro lime crema just before serving and use fresh lime juice rather than bottled to maximize the bright, zesty kick that elevates the entire dish.
- Balance Sweet and Spicy 🍯Start with 1 teaspoon honey in the beef mixture and adjust upward—it should complement, not mask, the adobo and spices, creating sophisticated depth rather than sweetness.
