Nguyên liệu

16 ounces cottage cheese

1 small shallot, diced

2-1/2 tablespoons taco seasoning, divided

fresh cracked pepper, to taste

1 pound ground beef, cooked and minced well

a small pinch salt

1/2 cup cheddar cheese, divided

1 jalapeno, sliced

Hướng dẫn

Place the cottage cheese, shallot, 1-1/2 tablespoons taco seasoning, onion powder, and some fresh cracked pepper in a food processor. Process really well, until it is silky smooth. Set aside.

Bring a pan to medium heat and add the olive or avocado oil. Add the ground beef, remaining taco seasoning, and a small pinch of salt. Mince it well, and cook it all the way through, about 8-10 minutes. The key is you want this to be minced well.

Grab an oven-safe dish. Or to make these personal-sized, you can portion out the mixtures between smaller ramekins. Add about 1/3 of the cottage cheese mixture to the bottom of an 8x8 baking dish. Then add a small handful of shredded cheese, then 1/3 of the ground beef mixture. Continue alternating. Top the final layer with the sliced jalapeños.

Pop this into the oven or air fryer at 400°F for about 8-10 minutes.

Remove, then top with anything else you want (guac, sour cream, pico, you name it!). I enjoy this with Hilo Life’s low-carb chips, but you can use your own favorite dippers. Serve and enjoy!
