manchego chayote & tomatillo in sweet potato broth
(1 rating)
If you have never tried chayote or tomatillo before, this is the dish to get you hooked. My boys like to each the chayote raw. It has an almost apple/pear taste and definitely texture. If you would like to make a milder version of this dish, swap out the manchego for monterrey jack and cheddar.
