Variations and Substitutes

This recipe is super flexible, so don't be afraid to tweak it based on what you've got in the fridge or what flavours you're in the mood for. Here are some easy swaps and ideas to make it your own:

• Not a fan of cottage cheese?
  Swap it for a mix of light cream cheese and reduced fat soured cream. It'll still be creamy and delicious, but honestly, once the cottage cheese is blended, you won't notice it in this recipe at all and it's a great high in protein, low in calories option.
• Change up the seasoning:
  Try fajita seasoning, Cajun spice, smoky BBQ rub, or even chipotle powder for a different flavour profile.
• Switch the protein:
  Use whatever cooked protein you've got - shredded turkey, lean beef mince, ground turkey, slow-cooked pork, or even cooked bacon for something a bit different.
• Make it vegetarian:
  Leave out the meat or use a meat substitute like quorn pieces, and/or add more beans, or toss in some cooked quinoa for texture and extra protein.
• Add extras:
  Stir in chopped jalapeños, roasted peppers, or even a little diced red onion for a punch of flavour and colour.

What to Serve with High Protein Taco Chicken Dip

This dip deserves great dippers to match its bold, cheesy flavour and satisfying protein punch. My personal favourite is grain free Siete tortilla chips as they have a fantastic crunch without the grains, making them a top pick. Of course, you can also go for other low calorie crisps or your favourite brand of crunchy crackers or crispbreads for something a bit lighter.

If you want to bulk it out into more of a meal, try oven roasted potato wedges, regular or sweet potato both work brilliantly here, adding a bit of warmth and substance. Veggie sticks like carrot, cucumber or celery also make a fresh, lower calorie option that balances the richness nicely. Basically, anything crunchy that can scoop is fair game, just pick what you love and dive in.
