Ingredients
1/2 lb lean ground beef
1 cup low-fat cottage cheese
1/4 tsp garlic powder
Salt and black pepper to taste
1/4 tsp red chili flakes or hot sauce (optional)
Chopped green onions or avocado (optional)
Instructions
1. In a skillet over medium heat, brown the ground beef until fully cooked.
2. Season with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and chili flakes.
3. Scoop the cottage cheese into a bowl while the beef cooks.
4. Spoon the hot beef directly over the cold cottage cheese.
5. Top with green onions, avocado, or any extras you like.
6. Serve immediately or store components for easy prep.
Notes
Keep cottage cheese cold for best texture contrast.
For lower fat, use 93% lean beef or swap for ground turkey.
Add roasted veggies or rice cakes for extra volume and crunch.
