Ingredients
- 1.5 cups` 2%, small curd cottage cheese sub with higher % for less moisture
- 1-2 chipotle peppers in adobo sauce (or canned jalapenos or green chilies)
- 2 Roma tomatoes, diced small can use a can of Ro-tel tomatoes with chilies but this will add moisture
- 2 cups black beans, rinsed
- 1/2 cup shredded Mexican cheese
- 1/2 packet taco seasoning, or to taste
- 1/2 cup black olives, sliced
- 1/2 bunch green onions, sliced, for garnish
- 1/4 cup sour cream, optional
Instructions
- Blend 1.5 cups of cottage cheese, 1/2 packet of taco seasoning, and 1-2 chipotle peppers in adobo sauce in a Nutri-bullet or blender (OR canned jalapenos or green chilies). If it is hard to blend, add a little liquid - like water or chicken broth.
- Using a spatula or spoon, spread this mixture into a single layer in a glass baking dish. I used a round pie pan.
- Make a layer of drained and rinsed black beans. Then, a layer of diced tomatoes.
- Top with shredded cheese, chopped green onions, and sliced black olives. Enjoy!
Notes
- Incorporate some shredded chicken, top with cheese and bake at 350 degrees F for about 10-15 minutes for a Mexican take on buffalo chicken dip.
- If you don't like the smoky flavor of chipotle peppers, try canned jalapenos or chilies.
- Add 1/4 cup sour cream for a tangier taste.
