Ingredients
1/2 cup low-fat cottage cheese
1/2 cup cooked lean ground turkey
1/4 cup canned black beans, rinsed and drained
1/4 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
1/4 cup diced cucumber
1/4 avocado, diced
2 tablespoons shredded lettuce
1 tablespoon shredded cheddar cheese (optional)
1 tablespoon salsa or pico de gallo
1/4 teaspoon taco seasoning
Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
1. Season the cooked ground turkey with taco seasoning, salt, and pepper.
2. In a bowl, add the cottage cheese as the base.
3. Layer on the seasoned ground turkey and black beans.
4. Top with cherry tomatoes, cucumber, avocado, lettuce, and cheddar cheese.
5. Spoon salsa or pico de gallo over the top.

Notes
You can substitute ground turkey with ground chicken or plant-based crumbles for a vegetarian version.
Adjust toppings based on your preferences — corn, jalapeños, or bell peppers make great additions.
For extra crunch, top with crushed tortilla chips or serve with a side of whole grain tortilla.
