High-protein queso dip – Diet Doctor

Tip

For the smoothest, creamiest queso, use freshly grated cheddar cheese. Pre-shredded cheese often contains added starch or anti-caking agents, which can affect the texture as it melts.

Variation

Swap the smoked paprika for chili powder if you prefer a little more heat. You can also add extra pickled jalapeños for an even spicier queso.

Serving suggestion

Serve this warm cottage cheese queso with crunchy radishes, cucumber, bell pepper, low-carb tortilla chips, or cottage cheese chips. It’s also delicious spooned over taco bowls or used as a cheesy topping for Tex-Mex dishes.
