Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 10 pieces Corn tortillas
- 2 cups Cottage cheese
- 1 cup Shredded Monterey Jack cheese
- 1 cup Shredded cheddar cheese
- 2 cups Enchilada sauce
- 1 cup Chopped green onions
- 0.25 cup Cilantro (optional)
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Ground black pepper
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish lightly with olive oil to prevent sticking.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the cottage cheese, 1/2 cup of shredded Monterey Jack cheese, 1/2 cup of shredded cheddar cheese, chopped green onions, salt, and black pepper. Mix well until fully combined.
Warm the tortillas by lightly heating them in a dry skillet for 15-20 seconds on each side, or wrap them in a damp paper towel and microwave for 30 seconds to make them pliable.
Spread approximately 1/3 cup of the cottage cheese mixture down the center of each tortilla. Roll the tortilla tightly and place it seam-side down in the greased baking dish. Repeat this for all the tortillas.
Pour the enchilada sauce evenly over the rolled tortillas, ensuring they are fully covered.
Sprinkle the remaining Monterey Jack cheese and cheddar cheese over the top of the enchiladas.
Cover the baking dish with foil and bake in the preheated oven for 15 minutes.
Remove the foil and bake for an additional 10 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Garnish with chopped cilantro, if desired. Let the enchiladas cool for 5 minutes before serving.
Serve warm and enjoy your delicious Cottage Cheese Enchiladas!
