Cottage Cheese Taco Bowls

I like cottage cheese best in savory bowls when it is treated like a creamy base, not a novelty.

Here it stands in for sour cream or queso and gets enough texture from beans, sweet potatoes, cabbage, corn, avocado, and crushed tortilla chips.

The roasted sweet potatoes make the bowl feel like lunch instead of a snack.

Black beans add substance, while pico de gallo and salsa verde keep the cottage cheese from tasting flat.

This also gives cottage cheese a savory lunch direction.

It is filling, colorful, and substantial without requiring chicken, tuna, or another common lunch protein.
