CHAYOTE WITH CHEESE (STUFFED & BAKED)
A Chayote dish to add variety to your meal. Note:When I made this I also added some garlic powder along with the salt & pepper. I used mexican blend cheese for the cheese, It was delicious. When boiling the chayote be sure to cook it until really tender so that is is easy to scoop out of the shell. Note: I have found that most of the time the Chayote takes longer to cook than 15 minutes because of size or age.

[email protected]This dish was a bit too time-consuming for me. I had to cook the chayote for over an hour, and then I had to stuff it and bake it. I think I would have been better off just buying a pre-made cheese-stuffed chayote dish from the grocery store.
