A typical recipe from Veracruz, especially from the heroic city of Tlapacoyan, is easy, delicious, and believe it or not, inexpensive. Look for references on the Internet, and you will learn more about the recipe and the place I proudly come from ;)

In a saucepan, add oil (3 to 5 tablespoons) and wait until it's hot, add the beans without broth, fry, and add the chayotes, sesame seeds (whole or ground), add the bean broth (1 cup) and let them boil until the chayotes are cooked but not too much or they will turn to mush. Add enough salt to season the chayotes and beans. Add the green onion and the ground piquín chili (mixed with a little bean broth for better integration), stir and turn off the heat. Remember that these are beans, and if you don't stir them enough, they will burn. Adjust the seasoning and add what you think is necessary. For the dough, you only need to mix the corn dough as if you were making tamales: dough, oil or lard, salt, and beat. If you beat the dough by hand, you'll notice if it needs more oil or if it's too greasy. To correct this, I recommend reserving a little corn dough in case it’s needed. To assemble our Chilahuates, we will use tapioca or tapicon leaves and make sure they are clean and have no holes. Spread a portion of the dough on a leaf and add some of the beans we prepared, wrap it like a tamale, and place them in a steamer until you finish. Don't worry if there are leftover beans, because you can eat them even if they are not in the Chilahuate. Let them cook over medium heat for 30 minutes. If they need more time, leave them until the dough is well cooked since the beans are already cooked.
