Few things I do differently. Don't use pre shreded cheese. It has anti clumping agents added like starches and other things. It makes your queso not as smooth or creamy as it could be. Cheddar isn't a great melting cheese. Mix with mozzarella. If using cheddar, use mild cheeses. Sharp cheese has been aged longer and turns to grease fast when melted due to low moisture content. And melt in a series of short runs in the microwave. 30 sec and stir then 30 sec and stir. This prevents over cooking one area and under cooking another. Over cooked cheese turns to grease. Toss some jalapenos, or red pepper flakes next time for a bit more kick. Garnish with cilantro.
Thank you for this. I thought hers looked a bit curdled or broken. I know others have said it looked delicious but the appearance put me off. I think I'll try it with your modifications. Thanks!
I love the fact that I started following you a few months ago. You gave me food options that didn't leave me feeling deprived or high on sugar. I lost at least 100 lbs, and I plan on keeping it off. I will be making this, and the bread. Thanks for what you do. 😊
@@user-ic5ck4yq9w I would assume so. In my family, if we're making lasagna & we're out of ricotta cheese, we use cottage cheese. I hope it works out for you.
Clicking on this was divine intervention. I LOVE queso, like obsessed. But also I'm in the process of losing weight and getting healthier. I have been using cottage cheese in all kinds of ways, here is one more. I have all the ingredients and low carb tortillas already. Yummmmm
I grew up absolutely hating cottage cheese, this receipe is a game changer for me, because you cannot taste the cottage cheese. For the shredded cheese, I use low fat cheddar and rinse it with water; gives the smoothest consistency because it gets ride of the residual powders on it.
Thanks for changing it up Myra and showing that keto, low carb, intermittant fasting... it all works and can be used according to what your current weight and health status are. Also... you seem extra happy in this video. You're always pleasant and positive... but you seem to be radiating something extra. : )
I love cottage cheese. My mom always kept it in our fridge while I was growing up, and we are talking decades ago. She always bought the pink Knudsen's carton, which is low fat and small curd. Try cottage cheese with Pace Picante Salsa on top. OMGoddess. Life changing.
Happy Sunday to you Mayra! Congrats on surpassing 1m subscribers…you definitely deserve it👏🏼 Best of luck for continued success! Stay blessed and beautiful 🙏🏼
Cottage cheese isn’t considered keto friendly. I read where someone asked if they could use ricotta cheese and that’s a great idea! It’s already smooth so you wouldn’t have to blend and it has a lot less carbs than cottage cheese:)
I have been on a ketogenic diet for about a year now and at first I was dissapointed with the results. I used to have migraines extremely often, it turns out that I was missing electrolytes. By making use of mealplans (in my case *DynamicKeto* ) I started to see what I should eat. what really gets me going is that my skin started to look better to!
Oh wow. I would have never ever thought of doing this. Yippee. No more jars of cheese sauce for me ever now. The possibilities are endless with using cottage cheese. I am soooooo happy. Umm, wondering if you can do a low carb mac n cheese maybe using Lupin flour pasta products and cottage cheese sauce for us. Thank you sharing this recipe as now I have an almost instant cheese sauce now.
I’m thinking about trying keto and have been watching your videos since yesterday afternoon. Your recipes make me excited about trying it out. Thanks for all of these recipes! One question I have for you, do you incorporate a lot of exercise in your days or does most of your weight loss and health come from your low carb keto?
Girl.... Love your channel. Please did I just see you on TV with your partner selling your beautiful home!!!!! Was that you??? I think it was!!! AMAZING
I will have to try this. Im gonna have to stock up on cottage cheese 😂.I can't remember if you said you like coconut. I just found coconut cake I want to try as well. Southern keto made it with cottage cheese. Have you tried it?
Looks good. I'm gonna try it. Thanks. Not meaning to sound critical, but a lot of us are okay with fat - and some of us don't get enough of it. I may add some heavy cream to mine. When we're on any of the various Low Carb High Fat diets, we don't worry about calories - most of the time. In fact it's strange because some of the "sciency" low carb/keto influencers talk about how silly the "calorie" concept is - how it's just a construct and not reflective of what goes on inside our bodies. Of course, we all inherit this concept of "the calorie" and we all grew up being told how important calories are - again I don't mean to sound critical at all. I don't know if it's helpful for me to say this - and of course some people don't want to eat so much fat - so knowing there are options here is good. Thanks again for this recipe.
Hi! I love your channel. I was just wondering of you had a scratch recipe for homemade sausage patties? It would be so nice to meal prep some for the freezer. That cheese sauce looks so damn good. ❤
I really will appreciate if I can see the ingredients for I can go and buy them. I try to write them down when I see the videos but I sometimes cannot write the name of some stuff, so can you please please send me the names of the ingredients that you use when you make a video because I am so interested in keeping up with all your recipes. I really appreciate you doing such a beautiful job. I really love washing your videos your the best
Mmm... That is a meal for me. I'll add a little bit of ground beef. Get a few of my Taco Bell packets and take this on the road in my lunch bag so I'm not tempted to stop at Taco Bell. Thanks, Myra
"fun" fact: cottage cheese is called keso in swedish which is pronounced almost exclusively like Queso. I literally thought you said keso and was really confused
Hi, love it ! I’m sure I can use any low carb tortillas? I clicked the link and the low carb corn tortillas are sold out. They must be good. Thank you!

Thank you! I didntknow that about sharp cheddar!
Thank you, as a cheese head from Wisconsin - truly appreciate your suggestions 😊
TYSM❤
This the 🥇

Can I use ricotta cheese I do not have cottage cheese
@@user-ic5ck4yq9w I would assume so. In my family, if we're making lasagna & we're out of ricotta cheese, we use cottage cheese. I hope it works out for you.
@@user-ic5ck4yq9w ricotta has less carbs so that’s actually a great idea!!!
I made your queso recipe today! Sooo good! I used it for my pork rinds.
It didn't work for me! It turned into melted cheese all stuck together surrounded by alot of liquid!
Clicking on this was divine intervention. I LOVE queso, like obsessed. But also I'm in the process of losing weight and getting healthier. I have been using cottage cheese in all kinds of ways, here is one more. I have all the ingredients and low carb tortillas already. Yummmmm
Sounds yummy, I think I will add either rotel or homemade salsa!
I add rotel to mine.. sooo good
That would be delicious on cooked broccoli
Omg yess
Ooo, good thinking! 😊
I just made it and it tastes way better then the jars of queso at the store.
I like it when you give amounts and carb counts without having to go to receipe
I grew up absolutely hating cottage cheese, this receipe is a game changer for me, because you cannot taste the cottage cheese. For the shredded cheese, I use low fat cheddar and rinse it with water; gives the smoothest consistency because it gets ride of the residual powders on it.
I was, literally, just searching a keto cheese sauce. Thank you for this.
Enjoy!
I love nachos so this will be a great topping for it. Thank you ❤

I love making ranch dressing with cottage cheese comes out so good ❤
recipe please?
Put the cottage cheese in the blender and add ranch dressing packet the dry stuff then blend it depends on how much ranch flavor you want
Such a good idea. I'm trying this
👍

Try cottage cheese with Pace Picante Salsa on top. OMGoddess. Life changing.
I have loved pace for years but they seem to still be using high fructose corn syrup in their salsa, I think we need to get on them to stop it.
@@lovelight9164 perhaps!
I've been making this for some months now, I do add ground turkey to mine. And I air fry my zero calorie street tortillas. Mmmm so soooooo good😊❤
Do you use shells? Or chips? Or shells to make chips? Sounds good
@@alyssanowak9272 i make my chips out of the zero carb tortillas
@@juliegoforth5117 thank you 😊
Happy Sunday to you Mayra! Congrats on surpassing 1m subscribers…you definitely deserve it👏🏼 Best of luck for continued success! Stay blessed and beautiful 🙏🏼
Made it today, ate it with carrots. Delicious 😋

I like that idea as well and good point on the carbs, but cottage cheese is keep friendly.
*It's amazing how something so easy to make can be so satisfying. Thanks for the delicious idea!*
So glad to see this! I’m in love with cottage cheese ice cream!❤
Tried this today and so good! I blended everything in my nutribullet and skipped heating altogether
Do you know what oil to use?
Yum. I’m sure you can addjalepenos . Make it spicy.
I made this tonight and LOVED it! It was so easy to make and delicious. Thank you!

Thanks because usually those jars I’m always allergic to something thank you for give me some recipes that I actually could eat
That’s a great idea to choose salt free taco seasoning.
Yay! I'm finally gonna some queso & chips. Thanks Mayra! You're the BEST😊

One question I have for you, do you incorporate a lot of exercise in your days or does most of your weight loss and health come from your low carb keto?
The Chipotle queso is actually my fav so if this is a dupe....OMG
I honestly never thought of that.. but wow 😮…. Looks AMAZING 😊❤🙏🏼
I love the look of this recipe-especially the low calories…. I just purchased one of youre books also… Im a new subscriber, and already a big fan :).
What are the measurements on the cottage cheese and cheddar cheese?
I love this idea. Can’t wait to try it. Thank you for sharing.❤️❤️
Looks delish! I'm going to top a chicken breast with this queso and some cilantro! YUM!
I will have to try this. I got used to using velveeta and rotel.
Girl.... Love your channel. Please did I just see you on TV with your partner selling your beautiful home!!!!! Was that you??? I think it was!!! AMAZING
I will have to try this. Im gonna have to stock up on cottage cheese 😂.I can't remember if you said you like coconut. I just found coconut cake I want to try as well. Southern keto made it with cottage cheese. Have you tried it?
Looks great! I gave up on the microwave- it’s unhealthy and its given me great discipline.
I love queso and I can't wait to try this. It looks delicious. What brand of spices are you using? I would love to purchase them.
Omg!!! I had to double check I just seen you on selling the OC lol. Love it
How great is this! I wonder if you could use this as a sauce for different cheese bakes 🤔
Oh yum!!! I will try this!!!
Do you have a recipe for a ranch dressing?
Make your own carb free taco seasoning. Chili powder, onion powder, garlic powder, cumin.
Thanks!!
Add paprika if you want that traditional taco flavour
@@sand9550 Oops I forgot to add that to the list of ingredients.
This looks so good. Can't wait to make it!!
Yes please ...easy and good for you
Yay cottage cheese!😁👍 Thanks for sharing with us, Mayra and have a blessed week 💜 🙏 ✌️ 🌞 💐 🎶
This would probably go great with pork rinds.
Oh my yes!
Looks good. I'm gonna try it. Thanks.

You could use tumeric for color too
Yum! can't wait to try this thanks 🤗
Love the cottage cheese in place of HWC so we get more protein. Thanks!

Hi, I love your channel. Where did u buy that cute little white bowl that the queso dip is in?
Thank you! that looks so easy and healthy!!!!!
Thanks Mayra I going to try it very soon
Omg ! Love this . Thank you !
Oh wow. I'm going to try this for sure.
Paprika is mostly just color, but smoked paprika is a lot of good flavor, not just color. Just can’t add too much.
What clean taco seasoning do u use for this dip
Amount? Looks like 1 or 2 cups cottage cheese 1 cup cheddar?
Where did you get the salt free taco seasoning from? Everything looks delicious. ❤
Dan-O’s has a great taco seasoning now! ❤
Thank you, love your videos! 😊
Sure will do , n share it too 👍🌷
What kind taco seasoning you using???
What oil do you use to fry your tortillas?
Avocado oil!
Oooh thank you! I had no idea avocado oil would fry well!
😋 yum. I'm so going to make this.
Mmm... That is a meal for me. I'll add a little bit of ground beef. Get a few of my Taco Bell packets and take this on the road in my lunch bag so I'm not tempted to stop at Taco Bell. Thanks, Myra
Notification gang happy Sunday
Nice lunch idea!😊
What is the best cottage cheese?
Very good! Thanks! 😊
Where did you get the taco seasoning? Thanks.
I love ❤️ love 💕 love 💗 you and your channel is amazing 😉 Iam telling everybody I know
I’m making this tfs🧀🪤🫕
"fun" fact: cottage cheese is called keso in swedish which is pronounced almost exclusively like Queso. I literally thought you said keso and was really confused
I will make it and eat it with baked tortilla chips
YES! So good! 😋
What would be a good cheese to use to make that creamy white queso like Mexican restaurants?
What about cream cheese instead of cottage cheese?
Oh my goodness I may have to make this tonight 😂❤
I'm trying this....new subbie here 😊
Yum!
What if I added diced tomatoes for taste ?
Hi, love it ! I’m sure I can use any low carb tortillas? I clicked the link and the low carb corn tortillas are sold out. They must be good. Thank you!
The A La Madre tortillas are amazing, I order at least a 3pk and keep them in my freezer.
Shredded cheese in a bag has starch added to it. how did you make your tortilla chips?
Thank you. 👍🏻
Cottage cheese is super high in sodium...use quark cheese instead.
Would you then need to use the taco seasoning that has salt? I guess you get to the same place either way.
It’s hard to find Quark in most states.. I have my sister bring it back to me from Germany every few months.
Does it freeze well? If so, for how long would you recommend?
Anyone know what oil to use to fry the tortillas?
