Directions

  1. Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C).

  2. Coat the chayote squash and zucchini with 1 tablespoon avocado oil and place on a rimmed baking sheet.

  3. Roast in the preheated oven for 20 minutes. Leave the oven on.

  4. While vegetables are roasting, heat 1 tablespoon avocado oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Sear chicken in the hot oil until browned on all sides, 5 to 7 minutes.

  5. Heat remaining oil in a large, oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat. Add bell peppers and jalapeno and saute for about 5 minutes. Add corn, garlic, taco seasoning, and cumin, stir and saute until fragrant, about 1 minute. Mix in the black beans and cooked chicken. Add the partially-roasted squash and zucchini.

  6. Bake in the preheated oven until bubbly and chicken is no longer pink and the juices run clear, 5 to 10 minutes. Top with Cheddar cheese and continue to bake until melted, about 1 minute more. Top with tomato, green onion, and cilantro.
