And you thought you only wear Chancletas. This dish got its name from the “shape” of a lengthwise cut of the pataste (chayote) slice, sort of similar to that of a flip-flop! That’s what I grew up knowing. This meatless appetizer, low in calories and carbs, is great for keeping your waistline and is especially suitable for diabetics, given that patastes are very low in starch. You can have your chancletas, and eat them, too.
