Loading ...Notes:
This is a great dish either warm or as a cold side dish. I have also used it as a meal by adding black beans (vegetarian protein source) or you can also add baked or grilled chicken to add protein.
Servings: 4-8
Ingredients:
1tbsp canola oil (for frying or use a non-stick pan & no oil)
2 Chayote Squash seeded & cut up in cubes (summer squash will work well too)
1 cup Jicama cut up in cubes
1/2 cup Red (green, yellow or orange) Pepper julienned (or cubed)
1 cup Corn, frozen or canned
Salt & pepper to taste
2/3 cup Cream Cheese, (whipped works well & low fat or fat free work well)
1/4 cup Parmesan Cheese, freshly grated (a 3 cheese blend with asiago, romano & parmesan works well too)
1 cup black beans drained & rinsed (optional)
2 cups baked or grilled chicken, cubed (optional)
Directions:
Heat oil in large fry pan and add cubed Chayote, Jicama, and Red Pepper and saute until almost tender (5-10 min).
Add corn to heat through. Add the optional black beans, and/or chicken to heat through.
Drain well and add salt and pepper to taste and then add cream cheese and stir until all is coated.
Sprinkle with parmesan cheese and mix in.
