Chayote squash is known as Mirliton in Louisiana. It is known by many different names around the world. This is a simple rice dish I came up with as I was experimenting with ways to cook mirliton. This will serve a LARGE family with some to spare. This would probably make a good Potluck or holiday dish. I apologize I am horrible at measuring seasonings, it's the Cajun in me....
