Ingredients

  • 1¼ lbs. red potatoes, baked
  • Vegetable oil spray
  • ½ tsp. garlic powder
  • ½ tsp. chili powder
  • ½ tsp. cumin
  • ⅛ tsp. pepper
  • 8 oz. fat-free cottage cheese
  • ½ tsp. lime zest
  • 1½ Tbsp. lime juice
  • 1 tsp. chives
  • ¼ tsp. chili powder
  • 4 black olives, sliced

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 450ºF.
