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

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish lightly with olive oil to prevent sticking.

Step 2

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.

Step 3

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.

Step 4

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.

Step 5

Pour the enchilada sauce evenly over the rolled tortillas, ensuring they are fully covered.

Step 6

Sprinkle the remaining Monterey Jack cheese and cheddar cheese over the top of the enchiladas.

Step 7

Cover the baking dish with foil and bake in the preheated oven for 15 minutes.

Step 8

Remove the foil and bake for an additional 10 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.

Step 9

Garnish with chopped cilantro, if desired. Let the enchiladas cool for 5 minutes before serving.

Step 10

Serve warm and enjoy your delicious Cottage Cheese Enchiladas!
