Step-by-Step Instructions

In a blender, combine the low-fat cottage cheese and enchilada sauce until smooth, taking about 1-2 minutes.
In a large mixing bowl, add the shredded rotisserie chicken and taco seasoning to the blended cottage cheese mixture. Stir well for about 1-2 minutes.
Add the diced red bell pepper, drained canned corn, and rinsed black beans to the chicken mixture. Gently fold everything together for another 2-3 minutes.
Divide the mixture into two microwave-safe bowls. Sprinkle the shredded cheese generously on top of each portion.
Microwave the bowls on high for 1-2 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and the mixture is heated through.
Top each bowl with fresh chopped cilantro, avocado slices, and a dollop of Greek yogurt or sour cream.
