For an extra layer of flavor, consider adding a squeeze of fresh lime juice to the tomato mixture while it simmers. Feel free to customize your taco salad with other favorite toppings like chopped onions, bell peppers, or avocado. To make this recipe vegan, substitute the cottage cheese and cheddar cheese with plant-based alternatives.
