  • 1 ¼ pounds 90/10 ground beef
  • ¼ tsp salt
  • ¼ tsp pepper
  • 1 tsp chili powder
  • ½ tsp paprika
  • ½ tsp garlic powder
  • ½ tsp onion powder
  • 15 oz can of diced tomatoes (no added salt)
  • 15 oz can of tomato sauce (no added salt)
  • 1 cup 1% cottage cheese
  • 1 egg
  • 8 corn tortillas (6 inch)

  • In a skillet over medium heat, brown the ground beef. Add salt, pepper, chili powder, garlic powder, onion powder, diced tomatoes, and tomato sauce. Cook for 10 minutes.
  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Meanwhile, mix egg and cottage cheese in a bowl.
  • In a 9x13 dish, add half the meat mixture, followed by half the tortillas (go 3 across and split the 4th in half to layer over any gaps at the top - see photo in post if this doesn't make sense!), half the cottage cheese/egg mixture, and half the cheddar cheese. Repeat layers one more time.
