Ingredients

2 cups cottage cheese (low-fat or regular)

1 cup cooked black beans (drained and rinsed)

1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved

1 avocado, diced

1/2 cup corn, fresh or canned (drained)

1/4 cup red onion, finely chopped

1/4 cup fresh cilantro, chopped

1 lime, juiced

1 teaspoon chili powder

1 teaspoon cumin

Salt and pepper to taste

Tortilla chips, for serving (optional)

Instructions

In a large mixing bowl, combine the cottage cheese, black beans, cherry tomatoes, corn, diced avocado, and red onion.

Add the chopped cilantro, lime juice, chili powder, and cumin to the mixture. Stir gently to combine; be careful not to mash the avocado too much.

Season the mixture with salt and pepper according to your taste preference, mixing well to incorporate all ingredients.

Let the mixture sit for about 10 minutes at room temperature to enhance the flavors, or refrigerate for 30 minutes if you prefer it chilled.

Serve the cottage cheese bowl in individual dishes or a large serving bowl, making sure to distribute the ingredients evenly.

Garnish with additional cilantro and serve with tortilla chips on the side for a crunchy texture.
