Instructions

Blend the cottage cheese and taco seasoning in a microwave-safe bowl with an immersion blender until smooth. Alternatively, blend in a blender or food processor then transfer to a microwave-safe bowl.
Stir in the shredded cheese and Rotel. Microwave 60 seconds, then take out and stir and microwave for another 30-60 seconds or until the cheese has completely melted.
Serve with tortilla chips and enjoy!

Notes

Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for 4-5 days.
To reheat, gently warm the queso in the microwave, stirring every 30 seconds. You can also reheat it in a saucepan over low heat. Add a splash of milk or water if the queso has thickened too much.
To make, transfer the cottage cheese mixture to an oven-safe dish and bake or air fry at 350F for about 5-10 minutes, or until the cheese is melted. I recommend stirring ever 2-3 minutes to ensure even melting.
