Notes

  • Cottage cheese: Use full-fat cottage cheese to avoid liquid-y queso.
  • Single-serve queso: Blend the entire container of cottage cheese. Add 1/2 cup of the blended cottage cheese, 1/4 teaspoon of taco seasoning, and 1 oz. of shredded cheese to a microwave-safe bowl. Microwave in 15-second intervals, stirring between each, until the dip is smooth and creamy. Top with a spoonful of pico de gallo.
