Layered Taco Dip

1 cupLow fat plain Greek yogurt

1 cupLow fat cottage cheese

2 tbsTaco seasoning

2 tbsSalsa

1/2 tspGarlic powder

1 (15 oz) canFat free refried beans (or pinto beans, smashed)

2 cupsChopped roma or grape tomatoes

Optional:Baked chips for dipping, or shredded lettuce for topping

Mix Greek Yogurt, cottage cheese, and taco seasoning, salsa, and garlic in a blender or food processor until smooth. Spread in a 9×13 inch clear glass baking dish (or in 8 individual glass jars if desired, double nutritional value if using 8 dishes). Layer remaining ingredients in this order: refried beans, tomatoes, cheese, and black olives. Serve as a dip with baked tortilla chips or as a salad topping with a bed of shredded lettuce!

The estimated total time to make this recipe is 10-15 minutes
