I originally found this recipe on the conatiner of Knudsen's Cottage Cheese & have been making it for years. My husband really likes it & he normally doesn't like cottage cheese. This is the original recipe, but I sometimes substitute ground turkey, lowfat cottage cheese & whole wheat tortillas....depending on the diet frame of mind:)!
Ingredients:
1 lb lean ground beef
1/2 cup chopped onion
1/2 cup chopped green pepper
2 1/2 cups chunky salsa
1 (11 ounce) can whole kernel corn, drained
1 teaspoon chili powder
1 teaspoon ground cumin
12 corn tortillas, divided
1 (16 ounce) container cottage cheese
1 cup sharp cheddar cheese, shredded
1 (2 1/4 ounce) can sliced olives, drained
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
2. Brown meat in skillet;drain. Return meat to skillet.
3. Add onions & peppers; cook until crisp-tender, stirring occasionally.
4. Add salsa, corn & seasonings; mix well.
5. In a 9x13 baking pan, layer 1/3 of the meat mixture, 1/2 of the tortillas & 1/2 of the cottage cheese. Repeat layers, ending with remaining meat sauce.
6. Sprinkle top with cheddar cheese & olives.
7. Bake 30 minutes or until heated through.
