Chayote is bland, you say. Tasteless. Pointless. A little weird.

I’ll concede some of that. But have you ever tried chayote that’s been high-heat roasted?

Changes everything. The heat concentrates all of chayote’s light flavor and juicy texture, bringing out attributes we’ll underscore here with an herby, spicy green adobo and a spark of lime juice.

Add some fresh goat cheese and spoon it all onto a warm tortilla, and you have a flavor-packed taco filling that skews toward the lighter side.

Quick note: the jar of adobo you’ll make will last for months in the refrigerator, and you can use it on everything from scrambled eggs to salad dressing. Oh, and pasta. It’s great on pasta.
