Equipment

Ingredients

  • 1 cup cottage cheese
  • ½ cup shredded cheddar cheese (I recommend orange sharp/aged cheddar for the best color and flavor)
  • ¼ cup tomato-based salsa
  • tortilla chips to serve

Instructions

  • Blend 1 cup cottage cheese and ½ cup shredded cheddar cheese together until smooth in a mini food processor (or use an immersion blender or blender).
  • Transfer the mixture to a microwave-safe bowl and stir in ¼ cup tomato-based salsa. Heat the mixture on high heat in the microwave for 1 minute. Stir and check the temperature. If it's not quite warm enough yet, heat for an additional 30 seconds. Serve hot with tortilla chips.
