Notes

🌮 Tortilla Shortcut: Use low-carb tortillas instead of homemade cottage cheese ones for a faster version. 🧀 Cheese Options: Pepper jack adds spice, while mozzarella gives a milder flavor. 🥗 Meal Pairing: Best served with salad, cauliflower rice, or sautéed veggies. ❄️ Storage: Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4 days. Reheat in the oven or microwave.
