If you haven’t had a chayote before, it tastes a bit like a cross between a guava and a pear. But it is not as sour as a guava and neither is it as sweet as a pear. It is a bit bland and has a tad bitterness to it. It’s crunchy and can be eaten raw, cooked, mashed, grilled to name a few ways. The addition of charred corn adds that smokiness and paired with fresh herbs with the sour of lemon, a hint of spiciness with the peppers, it is a refreshing dish. Serve either on its own or with grilled fish or chicken. Use it in a burrito next time! @sarchakra
