Cottage Cheese Tacos With Chicken: A High-Protein Shell

By the Healthy Plate team

Cottage Cheese Tacos

Cottage cheese tacos are a TikTok trend: the taco shell is made from cottage cheese and egg whites instead of a tortilla. Carbs drop, protein rises, and it tastes great with spiced chicken.

Tip

Squeeze the cottage cheese in a cloth to remove excess water before mixing so the shells hold together.
