In a microwave-safe bowl, combine 2.5 oz of cubed chicken, 2.5 tbsp of chunky salsa, and 2 tsp of taco seasoning. Microwave on high for 1-2 minutes, stirring halfway through, until the chicken is fully cooked and has a tender texture. Let it rest while you prepare the creamy dip.

In a blender or food processor, combine 5 oz of cottage cheese, 5 halved cherry tomatoes, 0.75 tsp finely minced pickled jalapeños, and 0.25 tsp of onion powder. Blend until smooth.

Pour the blended cottage cheese mixture into a medium-sized bowl and add 3 tbsp of shredded cheese. Microwave for 1 minute, stirring halfway through to ensure even heating.

Transfer the warm cheese dip to a serving bowl and layer the cooked chicken mixture on top. Garnish with 1.5 tsp of chopped cilantro and a pinch of Tajin.

Serve immediately with thick tortilla chips for dipping.
