alternative to heavy street elote/chayote

first pic is the chayote and elote i got from the street. 600 kcals 💔 was chayote, elote, mayo, cream, cotija, salsa.

i made my own at home. i ate two of the pictured plates for less than 100 in total. it was just as satisfying and tasty, and i was stuffed 😭 was chayote, light cream, light greek yogurt, cottage cheese, salsa.

when i go to the elotero i always get a chayote. its got a great texture and its really filling yet light . they sell it at walmart. zuchini could work also, but chayote has a more filling texture like a cross between zuchini and potato
