Method
- If you want the smoothest texture, blend the cottage cheese and enchilada sauce together in a high-speed blender, immersion blender, or food processor for 30 to 45 seconds until completely smooth and creamy. The mixture should look like a pale orange sauce with no visible cottage cheese curds. Skip this step if you prefer a chunkier texture.
- In a medium mixing bowl, combine the cottage cheese mixture, shredded rotisserie chicken (pre-shred if needed), and taco seasoning. Stir until the chicken is evenly coated.
- Add the diced red bell pepper, corn, and black beans to the bowl. Stir to coat all the vegetables in the cottage cheese mixture.
- Divide the mixture evenly between two microwave-safe bowls. Sprinkle half of the shredded cheese over each bowl, covering the top evenly.
- Microwave each bowl for 1 minute, then check. If the cheese isn't fully melted and the mixture isn't heated through to 165°F, microwave for an additional 30 seconds. The mixture should be steaming hot.
- Carefully remove from microwave using oven mitts. Top each bowl with about 2 tablespoons fresh chopped cilantro, half an avocado sliced, and 2 tablespoons of Greek yogurt or sour cream. Serve immediately.
Notes
For meal prep, assemble bowls without garnishes and store in airtight containers for up to 3 days. Keep garnishes separate for freshness. Full-fat cottage cheese will increase calories and fat content but create an even creamier texture. Check labels to ensure taco seasoning and enchilada sauce are gluten-free if needed. You can substitute the chicken with ground turkey, beef, or tofu. Add diced jalapeños or hot sauce for extra heat. Always reheat to 165°F for food safety.
