With a fraction of the calories of part-skim ricotta or queso fresco, rinsed and drained cottage cheese makes an ideal replacement in Mexican dishes, lasagnas, and pizzas.
Rinsing and draining cottage cheese before using it in enchiladas helps reduce the sodium while boosting the creamy texture. Serve with Chopped Black Bean–Avocado Salad and Mexican Rice from vegetariantimes.com.
2. Preheat oven to 350°F. Coat 13- x 9-inch baking dish with cooking spray. Combine cottage cheese, tomatoes, 1/2 cup shredded cheese blend, and cumin seeds in bowl. Season with salt and pepper, if desired.
3. Spoon 1/2 cup cheese mixture down center of 1 tortilla. Roll up tortilla, and place seam-side-down in baking dish. Repeat with remaining filling and tortillas. Bake 20 minutes, or until enchiladas begin to crisp and brown on top.
4. Spoon salsa verde over enchiladas, and sprinkle with remaining 1/2 cup shredded cheese blend. Bake 10 minutes more, or until cheese is melted and bubbly on top. Let stand 5 minutes before serving.

I really liked this recipe because unlike some of the others it featured simple, readily available ingredients. My husband and I spend $40 a week on groceries and this is affordable. Also it tastes amazing and gives you something cheesy and good without all the calories! Goes really well with VT mexican rice and some tortilla chips w/ fresh salsa.
I am trying to incorporate more vegetarian meals into our weekly menus. Tried this last month and my husband loved it and I did too. Great flavor and light so you don't feel too full or bloated, like a lot of mexican meals we eat.
Absolutely amazing! My whole family loved it even without all the calories and all of us couldn't believe how low in calories it was. I'm really starting to make sure I'm getting more protein and this has an amazing ratio of calories to protein on top of being delicious. Definitely recommend.
Excellent recipe. It is definitely at the top of the list of family favorites.
This is a great recipe! I added 2 tablespoons of green chilis to the cheese mixture and then added 1/2 cup of chipotle salsa along with the salsa verde on top of the emchiladas. Mmmm!
Delicious and very easy to make. Love it!
