Ingredients
Scale
- 2.5 oz chicken (cut into 1/2-inch cubes)
- 2.5 tbsp salsa
- 2 tsp taco seasoning
- 5 oz cottage cheese
- 5 cherry tomatoes
- 0.75 tsp pickled jalapeños (finely minced)
- 3 tbsp cheese
- 0.25 tsp onion powder
- 1.5 tsp cilantro
- 1 pinch Tajin
- Tortilla chips (thicker style)
Instructions
- Begin by cutting the chicken into 1/2-inch cubes. Place the chicken in a microwave-safe bowl along with the salsa and taco seasoning. Microwave for 1-2 minutes until the chicken is cooked through, stirring halfway if needed.
- While the chicken is cooking, combine the cottage cheese, halved cherry tomatoes, pickled jalapeños, and onion powder in a blender. Blend until you achieve a smooth, dip-like consistency.
- Pour the blended cottage cheese mixture into another microwave-safe bowl and stir in the shredded cheese. Microwave for 1 minute, making sure to stir halfway through for even heating.
- Transfer the warm cheese dip into a serving bowl. Top it with the cooked chicken mixture. Garnish with fresh cilantro, a sprinkle of additional cheese, and a pinch of Tajin for extra flavor.
- Serve immediately with thicker-style tortilla chips for scooping.
Notes
Use good quality cottage cheese for a thicker dip. Adjust spice levels according to taste.
