“They don’t even know about Fajitas in Mexico” Thank you Rick for making people aware of this! 😄 and thank you for being an Ambassador to authentic Mexican food
I just bought one of these at the carniceria and didn’t really know what it was. My husband said “What is this?” I said “I have no idea”. He said “Well then why did you buy it?” I explained “Well it might be my next most favorite thing!” We are having tacos tonight and will include this. Thank you!
I love chayote! It absorbs flavors beautifully, adds great texture, and sweetness. I like to add roasted chayote to a stew full of roasted green chiles, garlic, and chunks of pork shoulder.
Rick, I am from Mexico City and never learned how to cook Mexican food, I've been watching your videos for years and you pretty much inspired me to start cooking Mexican food, for some reason I always thought it was too complicated, but you make it so simple and doable. Thank you so much!
Hi Rick thank you for showing the richness of Mexican food, like you said you don't need meet to eat something good. My.Mom used to make scramble eggs with chayote, used on caldo de Pollo, and just put some Mexican cream and salt where simple and delicious meals. Love your cooking Rick🥰
They call those chokos in Australia. My dad used to cook them on a hotplate and add curry flavours to them. He also boiled them in a sugar/honey syrup for a dessert
I am going to roast my chayote (maybe use a different oil) and then season it with cinnamon and a little sugar, perhaps make some kind of streusal topping for it, and see if it can substitute for apple crisp with reduced carbs. Thanks for the idea!
that was definitely a benevolent act to share this! my wife has wanted me to make chayote forever but i would boil it and it sucked so i hated making it. thanks so much for the post! love you rick!
Also the Mexican chayote with spines taste different than the normal chayote. Delicious and different recipe to what am used to eat it.. thanks Rick 👍😋
Great recipe for chayotes, thank you. Traditionally we use to eat these at home in a very well seasoned tomato cream sauce with lots of onions, and yes, these were also pre roasted in the oven and then "guisados" in the tomato sauce for some time. Really delicious!!
I sliced into thin wedges and stir fried in a little bit of olive oil, delicious. Also, sliced into wedges, drizzled olive oil and cooked in my iron cast ridged griddle. Really, really good as a side dish. Do the same to zucchini and yellow squash, onions. Very good.
Delicious! Just brought chayote into my produce department and this was the first recipe I tried. Like others, I love the sauce, and now want to try it with grape tomatoes and some avocados !
Yes Rick, I have been doing Chayote a lot lately because it has much less carbs and starch than potatoes. I stir fry it with other veggies. I also have it with Chorizo & eggs. Now I can have some in tacos 🌮. Thanks! Try making keto recipes. Can't find a good Mexican keto Cookbook. I am improvising.
There are a lot of great keto recipes on youtube. I just made albondigas using chayote and zucchini. Made some "apple pie filling" using it too. My main meals are mostly mexican and both my husband and I are on keto.
I'm going to try it!! My Gran made it with nopales but definitely doing it for dinner tonight I have leftover chayote from when I made caldo de pollo the other day!!.👍🏻
i am loving these taco tuesday posts. especially the meatless recipes. between rick bayless on pbs (and now this youtube channel) and my neighbor from baja, i have learned so much not only about cooking in general (and especially mexican), but a true appreciation for each ingredient.
Rick, this segment is a family favorite, thanks for the recipes and taking the time to take us to "la escuela". We love your store packaged sauces and Chiplote salsa.
A mi me encanta el chayote, I love chayote, I cook it in differents way, lo cocino diferentes maneras,but this is something different, pero esta receta es diferente, and definitely I will cook it..yo definitivamete lo voy a cocinar... Estoy sorprendida de su receta Gracias
I would love this(without the goat cheese)I LOVE chayote and don't think it's bland at all! I braise it with onions and garlic in chicken or vegetable broth,it's delicious!
Interesting! I wanna try that. Took my prejudice against chayote away. This adobo sauce looks amazing as well. I had never heard of it before and I want to give that a try as well. Thanks for the video!
I love chayote! Boiled chayote w salt, ground chili, and lemon is my go-to. I do have to say my mouth was watering when you made that taco, and bit into it. Btw, was that a homemade tortilla? 😋😋 Also, that seasoning sounds amazing, just gotta make it. Thank you for your recipe. New subscriber!
Uh looks good,I never like the flavor of chayote,because it is really simple,but minus the Serrano I gave everything else I'll wait till tomorrow to get Serrano and I'll give it try,specially because I do my in hand made tortilla🙏🙏🙏thank you,happy new year
+squeekybeck You're in luck! Oaxacan Pork Picadillo was last week! Here's the recipe and video: www.rickbayless.com/were-picking-oaxacan-picadillo-for-taco-tuesday/
so far ive watched three videos on this fruit and all are completely contradictory. One says the peeling is terrible don't eat it. One says don't salt squash before roasting. One dude was rubbing the top of the squash on itself to get the liquid out before cooking... idk wtf to do lol
OOP's I put mine in spaghetti And what are you talking about my first one today I would eat in a salads pan fry Those are awesome I have No regrets and will given the opportunity eat again Yes"a Those are good,I think they would be good with just vinegar as well .But it looks like my first one is going in my Spaghetti? I had no Idea what to do with it?" GOD made it It Is Good!
Chayote will save your guys' life! Definitely saved mine. Literally has antioxidants and other great benefits to it. This guy is right about one thing though, really bland BUT cooks closer to a potato even though it still spoils like a squash. If you cook it with any kind of meat it will just absorb the flavor of it too. Great in soups

Please share your recipe...as I have a pork shoulder that I have no idea how to cook.

Delicious! I added cherry tomatoes to the roasting pan, then just ate it in a big bowl. First time ever
having chayote. Thanks, Rick!

In the Philippines we suite it with garlic and onion with shrimp we call it ginisang sayote sa hipon
I am going to roast my chayote (maybe use a different oil) and then season it with cinnamon and a little sugar, perhaps make some kind of streusal topping for it, and see if it can substitute for apple crisp with reduced carbs. Thanks for the idea!
How did it turn out?
Was it good
Seriously the best sauce ever!!!!❤❤❤❤🇲🇽🇲🇽🇲🇽
that was definitely a benevolent act to share this! my wife has wanted me to make chayote forever but i would boil it and it sucked so i hated making it. thanks so much for the post! love you rick!
+herrerabrew Thanks!!
Fantastic! Really great texture, and sweet. And the green sauce...great combination.
Also the Mexican chayote with spines taste different than the normal chayote.

Sounds Amazingly!
Chayote con mantequilla, también delicioso mi mamá nos lo preparaba así o solo nos cosía un chayote entero y con sal delicioso
I sliced into thin wedges and stir fried in a little bit of olive oil, delicious. Also, sliced into wedges, drizzled olive oil and cooked in my iron cast ridged griddle. Really, really good as a side dish. Do the same to zucchini and yellow squash, onions. Very good.

Thanks so much for this recipe. I'm just trying to incorporate more Mexican veggies into my cooking.
Wow! You cook unbelievably good!! It looks very yummy.
Looks delicious!!I was looking for a good chayote side recipe to eat with my salmon , I think I found a great one!
YESSSS!! Bring on the veggie tacos!

This looks so delicious. I will try it. There are plenty of chayotes in my local grocery store. Thanks so much for sharing this taco.
Growing up in central Mexico I had no idea what 'fajitas' were until I moved to Texas
Me too, for it is mot common

I would love this(without the goat cheese)I LOVE chayote and don't think it's bland at all! I braise it with onions and garlic in chicken or vegetable broth,it's delicious!
Chayote makes a wonderful apple substitute for those of us on low carb! Excited to try this savory version.
Thanks Rick !
For all your videos you truly inspire me to continue with the Mexican cuisine
Interesting! I wanna try that. Took my prejudice against chayote away. This adobo sauce looks amazing as well. I had never heard of it before and I want to give that a try as well. Thanks for the video!
Me encanta el Chayote. Specially Chayote en escabeche!
Wow!! Rick hasn't aged one bit!! Great channel.
Best choko recipe yet.. thank you 👌👌
I put chayote on bone broth... yummm!!
Delicious tacos with guacamole, too!
That is a great Keto dish! Thank you for sharing.
Tacos de guisado, mis favoritos, thank you Rick for making this videos.
I just planted one that had roots and a vine coming out the same end.
This chef is one of the best in the world
Green adobo,wow look awesome! Yo lo voy a cocinar...I have all those ingredients..
Lo haré mañana. Se ve demasiado rico!
Thank for recepies
Thankyou for sharing your good into the goodness of what God created. Blessings🙏💓
Muy rico, y sabroso! Ya lo hice. Tal como lo explica. Gracias
Idk why this was recommended but I'm not complaining
Perfect for vegans sans the cheese, or with some aged cashew cheese in place of the goat cheese, thanks!
Puerto Rican’s call that green seasoning “Sofrito” and it’s delicious 😋
Soffritto is Italian for carrots, celery, onion base for most dishes.
Eso no es sofrito porque se come crudo. No tiene cebolla cruda, recao, pimiento y ajicitos dulces
I'm trying this today it looks great! thank you chef!
+suzie gonzalez Thank you for watching, Suzie!
Never heard of chayote received it from a food pantry I will try this Recipe look good 👍
I love chayote! Boiled chayote w salt, ground chili, and lemon is my go-to. I do have to say my mouth was watering when you made that taco, and bit into it. Btw, was that a homemade tortilla? 😋😋 Also, that seasoning sounds amazing, just gotta make it. Thank you for your recipe. New subscriber!
Anna Campos -could you please support my channel too

Hello Rick, great recipe I will surely try it. By the way, can you make a Taco Tuesday with Picadillo? That will be fantastic. Thank you.
+squeekybeck You're in luck! Oaxacan Pork Picadillo was last week! Here's the recipe and video: www.rickbayless.com/were-picking-oaxacan-picadillo-for-taco-tuesday/
Will the adobo sauce turn out the same if i only put 1 pepper? I dont like things highly spiced. I prefer mild. Thanks
Mirlitons (pronounced Mell-a-tawhn) in New Orleans.
this taco was refreshing. thanks chef
ill say it.. mexican spicy pesto, haha. Great recipe ideas. Thanks Chef.
These chayotes are awesome!
I love this vegetable I fix it like a baked potato it’s yummy
Love u! Made this tonight! Love the sauce!
Hey Rick, if you Julianne the chayote instead, wouldn't it fit & stay inside a taco better? I'm just saying...
so far ive watched three videos on this fruit and all are completely contradictory. One says the peeling is terrible don't eat it. One says don't salt squash before roasting. One dude was rubbing the top of the squash on itself to get the liquid out before cooking... idk wtf to do lol
Tastes great!
You add something red you didn’t say it’s name after the parsley fajitas are international known
I love chayotes they are my favourite vegetable
OOP's I put mine in spaghetti And what are you talking about my first one today I would eat in a salads pan fry Those are awesome I have No regrets and will given the opportunity eat again Yes"a Those are good,I think they would be good with just vinegar as well .But it looks like my first one is going in my Spaghetti? I had no Idea what to do with it?" GOD made it It Is Good!
The seed is delicious and I think the best part, why leave it out?
Should I have the name of the bundle of herbs and what kind of the cheese you put it in , thank you
I'm definitely going to try Chayote
Lotta oil!
Cilantro makes me literally puke when I eat any. The Chayote on the other hand is so delicious!
Looks good. I'm hoping the chayote isn't too watery.
Roasted and grilled! Tasty!
flat leaf parsley is that italian parsley?
Yes!
I'm making this tonight.
Chayote will save your guys' life!
Definitely saved mine. Literally has antioxidants and other great benefits to it. This guy is right about one thing though, really bland BUT cooks closer to a potato even though it still spoils like a squash.
If you cook it with any kind of meat it will just absorb the flavor of it too. Great in soups
That looks good
Looks delicious...what other chesses could you use.?
Nice
the amount of oil is just bonkers
I'm going to try this, minus the cheese, and corn product. Anyway, thanks for sharing.
How'd it turn out?
@@MiguelGonzalez-vz6qi I will let you know'
Doesn’t he look like Lord Baelish’s cousin?
Mexicans never use olive oil-veg or lard
