Spicy Stuffed Chayotes
This is a sponsored post on behalf of Tabasco. I also received a delivery of fresh chayotes from Melissa’s Produce to facilitate this recipe. All opinions and recipe are 100% my own.
If there is one vegetable that reminds me of home, it has got to be a hearty chayote. This vegetable is so versatile, it can be served cooked and chopped, pureed, grilled, and my favorite, stuffed.
Low in calories and packed with fiber and anti-oxidants, there is no reason why I shouldn’t be including it in my meals. It’s great!
Chayotes have a consistency that falls between a pear and a zucchini. Its taste is a bit on the bland side but that’s what I love about it because I can dress it up any which way I want.
This weekend, we went for a spicy chayote that included stewed meat with vegetables and rice. My spicy sauce of choice for this dish? Tabasco’s Garlic Pepper Sauce. , made of only red pepper, distilled vinegar, water, salt and garlic. It was the perfect ingredient to add delicious flavor to my beef stew; so garlicky and spicy. To balance out the heat of the dish, I sprinkled queso fresco on top of each stuffed chayote to tame down the heat with a bit of creaminess.
My husband loved this dish so much, he has requested for it to be on the Father’s Day menu this year.
Chayotes can be found year-round in your local grocery store or can be ordered online from Melissa’s Produce.
