Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup full-fat cottage cheese
- 1/2 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese
- 1/4 cup Rotel (diced tomatoes and green chilies, undrained)
- 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/4 teaspoon onion powder
- Pinch of salt
Instructions
- Place the cottage cheese, shredded cheddar cheese, Rotel (with liquid), garlic powder, onion powder, and salt into a high-speed blender or food processor.
- Blend on high speed until the mixture is completely smooth and creamy. Stop and scrape down the sides as needed. This should take about 1 to 2 minutes.
- Pour the blended mixture into a microwave-safe bowl.
- Microwave on high for 30 to 60 seconds, stirring halfway through, until the queso is heated through and extra smooth. Do not overheat.
- Serve immediately with tortilla chips, vegetables, or as a nacho topping.
Notes
- For a spicier dip, add 1/4 teaspoon of chili powder or a dash of your favorite hot sauce to the blender.
- If the dip is too thick after microwaving, add a teaspoon of milk or water and stir until you reach your desired consistency.
- This dip is best eaten right away while warm and smooth.
