Ingredients
– 1 cup low-fat cottage cheese
– 4 tablespoons enchilada sauce
– 4 ounces rotisserie chicken breast, shredded
– 4 tablespoons taco seasoning or 1 package taco seasoning mix
– 1 cup red bell pepper, diced
– 1/4 cup canned corn, drained
– 1/4 cup black beans, rinsed and drained
– 1 ounce shredded cheese
– Chopped cilantro for garnish
– Avocado slices for garnish
– Greek yogurt or sour cream for garnish
Instructions
1-First Step: Blend the creamy base Add the 1 cup low-fat cottage cheese and 4 tablespoons enchilada sauce to a blender or food processor if you want a smoother texture. Blend until the mixture looks creamy and well mixed. If you do not mind a little texture, you can skip blending and stir them together in a bowl.
2-Second Step: Mix in the chicken and seasoning Place the cottage cheese mixture in a large bowl. Add the 4 ounces rotisserie chicken breast, shredded and 4 tablespoons taco seasoning or 1 package taco seasoning mix. Stir well so the chicken gets coated with the creamy sauce and seasoning.
3-Third Step: Add the vegetables and beans Next, stir in the 1 cup red bell pepper, diced, 1/4 cup canned corn, drained, and 1/4 cup black beans, rinsed and drained. Mix until everything is evenly coated. The bell pepper adds crunch, the corn adds sweetness, and the beans add more fiber and protein.
4-Fourth Step: Divide into bowls Spoon the mixture into two microwave-safe bowls, dividing it evenly between them. This recipe makes two servings, so each bowl gets a generous portion of the chicken mixture. Spread it out a little so it heats evenly in the microwave.
5-Fifth Step: Add cheese and warm the bowls Top each bowl with some of the 1 ounce shredded cheese. Microwave for 1 to 2 minutes, or until the cheese melts and the mixture is warmed through. The goal is a hot, cozy bowl with melted cheese on top and a creamy texture underneath.
6-Final Step: Finish with fresh toppings and serve Top the bowls with chopped cilantro, avocado slices, and Greek yogurt or sour cream. These toppings add coolness, color, and a fresh finish that balances the spice from the taco seasoning and enchilada sauce.
