Meredith and I made BLT Corn-Lettuce wraps [recipe] and prickly-chayote "calabacitas". Calabacitas (literally translate to zucchini, is essentially sautéd squash, onions, and pepper. I peeled the chayote (not easy to do and hurt) then cut it up (and removed the strange looking middle). I first sautéd onions and a jalapeño in butter, then added garlic, and finally the chopped squash. It was actually really good, though I probably used a bit too much butter.

For the lettuce wraps, we used "Little Gem" lettuce. We also skipped the olive oil and sour cream and served the avocado on the side. And we used 6 slices of thin center-cut bacon.
