Ingredients

2 green chayote squash, quartered, pith removed, and diced (do not peel)

1/2 green pepper, diced

1/2 red pepper, diced

1/2 yellow pepper, diced

1 onion, diced

2 Tbsp sofrito (storebought or homemade)

Directions

Bring 2 cups of water to the boil in a saucepan. Add the chayote, and boil uncovered for 30 minutes until the chayote is cooked through. Drain and set aside. In a large frying pan, heat sofrito, and stir in peppers and onion. Saute, stirring often, 3-4 minutes over medium-high heat. Add the chayote, and cook 1 minute. In a large bowl, beat the eggs and stir into the vegetable mixture. Stir constantly until the eggs are cooked, approximately 4-5 minutes.

This would be good with frybread! :)

I am definitely going to try this as soon as the squash comes into season at the local farmer's market.
