Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 2 cups cottage cheese
  • 1 cup shredded sharp cheddar
  • 1 (4-oz) can diced green chiles, drained
  • 1/2 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/2 tsp onion powder
  • 1/4 tsp ground cumin
  • Salt, to taste
  • 1 to 2 tbsp milk (optional)

Method
 

  1. Blend cottage cheese in a blender until completely smooth, about 30 seconds.
  2. Transfer to a microwave-safe bowl and stir in cheddar, green chiles, garlic powder, onion powder, cumin, and a pinch of salt. Microwave in 30-second bursts, stirring between, until melted and hot, 1 to 2 minutes total.
  3. Stir until creamy, thin with milk a little at a time if needed, and serve warm.

Notes

The queso thickens as it cools. If storing leftovers, stir in a small splash of milk when you reheat it, and it’ll be good as new.
