Chayote, Corn and Black Bean Wraps with Fresh Pico De Gallo

I was so excited about the dinner that Ashton and I had last night I couldn't wait to post it!

Chayote, Corn and Black Bean Wraps with Fresh Pico De Gallo

1 Chayote (peeled and sliced)
1 cup of fresh or frozen corn
1 cup of black beans
1 small red onion (chopped)
1 Tbs of olive oil
1tsp. of minced garlic
1 cup of monterey jack cheese
4 large Tortilla's

Add oil to hot pan, then add onion, garlic, corn and beans saute for about 5 minutes. Add sliced chayote and saute for another two to three minutes or just until chayote is tender.

Fill each tortilla with mixture and top with monterey jack cheese. Do not overstuff and be sure to get the large tortilla's used for burrito's we got the wrong size and had to use toothpicks to hold our's together...Place in the oven for about three minutes at 350 degrees for the cheese to melt and the wrap to get a slight crunch. Add Pico De Gallo on the side and any other of your favorite topping and it's ready to enjoy!



Fresh Pico De Gallo
3 roma tomatoes (roughly chopped)
1 fresh jalepeno (seed and roughly chopped)
1/2 tsp of minced garlic
2-3 sprigs of cilantro (roughly chopped)
1 Lime
1 small red onion

I love this recipe because there is no rhyme or reason. Just roughly chop everything thing, drop into a bowl squeeze the juice of the lime on top of all ingredients, add garlic and then salt and pepper to taste and you're done! No, mad science and no culinary degree required.... Try it! I promise you will love it!
