4 chayote squash, halved, seeded
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
1 onion, finely chopped
11/2 teaspoons salt
1/2 pound chopped mushrooms
2 garlic cloves, minced

1 cup dry bread crumbs

Add garlic, jalapeno and cumin and saute until fragrant. Add tomatoes and reserved chayote flesh. Stir until most of liquid evaporates. Stir in epazote, bread crumbs and almonds. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Spoon mixture into shells. Sprinkle with cheese. Arrange shells in large baking pan. Pour enough hot water around shells to reach 1/4-inch. Bake until heated through, about 15 minutes.

The filling was too dry. I would add some more liquid next time.

The chayotes were not cooked all the way through. I had to put them back in the oven for an additional 10 minutes.
