Ingredients

1 pound ground meat (beef or chicken)

1 package taco seasoning

12 oz can diced tomatoes with chilis (such as Rotel)

2 x 6 oz cans tomato paste

16 oz cottage cheese

2 eggs

8 x 6-inch corn tortillas

8 oz package shredded Monterey Jack cheese

Preparation

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

· Brown ground meat.

· Stir in taco seasoning and cook for 2 minutes.

· Add tomatoes and tomato paste. Simmer 15 minutes.

· In a separate bowl, combine cottage cheese and eggs*.

· In 9x13 pan, layer meat mixture, tortillas, cottage cheese and Jack cheese. Repeat layers once. (Can be frozen at this point)

· Bake on 350 for 25 minutes or until heated through.

  • Next time I’m considering adding chopped cilantro to the cottage cheese mixture and on top.
