Instructions
- Blend cottage cheese and 2 tablespoons of water in a small blender until creamy (skip this step if using Greek yogurt or sour cream).
- Grease a 10-inch skillet and set to medium heat. Add the ground turkey and season with 1/2 tsp salt or to taste. Cook, crumbling as you go, until no longer pink, about 5-6 minutes. Drain if needed.
- Add the diced onions, peppers and corn. Cook for another 3-4 minutes stirring occasionally.
- Add the blended cottage cheese, red enchilada sauce and 3 tablespoons of elote seasoning. Stir to combine, bring mixture to a low simmer over medium heat. Simmer for 3 minutes.
- Cut the tortillas into strips about 1/2-inch. Cut long strips in half.
- Remove from heat. Stir in the tortilla strips so they’re evenly distributed.
- Sprinkle the shredded cheese on top. Cover with a lid and let sit for 5-10 minutes for the cheese to melt.
- Garnish with fresh cilantro and sour cream to serve and enjoy!
