Expert Tips

Queso fresco cheese is very similar in texture to feta cheese. If you are unable to find queso fresco cheese, substitute feta cheese.

Ground red pepper can be quite spicy. For children or those who do not enjoy spicy food, eliminate red pepper from the recipe.

Chayote can be found in the fresh section of grocery stores or in international food markets. Substitute green apple if chayote cannot be found.
