Method
 

Step-By-Step Instructions
  1. In a blender, combine low-fat cottage cheese with your preferred enchilada sauce. Blend on medium speed for about 30 seconds until smooth and creamy.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the blended cottage cheese mixture with shredded rotisserie chicken and taco seasoning. Stir thoroughly for about 2 minutes.
  3. Gently fold in diced red bell pepper, rinsed and drained canned corn, and black beans into the chicken mixture. Mix for another minute.
  4. Divide the enchilada mixture into two microwave-safe bowls. Top each with shredded cheese. Microwave on high for 1-2 minutes, until heated and cheese is melted.
  5. Remove the bowls, let cool briefly, and top with chopped cilantro, avocado slices, and Greek yogurt or sour cream if desired.
