Tacos de Jícama

Tacos de Jícama are a refreshing and crunchy vegan alternative to traditional tacos, utilizing jícama as a tortilla substitute. Bursting with vibrant flavors from fresh vegetables and zesty lime, they make for a delightful snack or light meal.

Ingredients

• Jícama - 250 grams
• Chickpeas - 1 cup cooked (150 grams)
• Cherry tomatoes - 100 grams, halved
• Avocado - 1 medium, diced
• Red onion - 1/4 cup, finely chopped
• Cilantro - 1/4 cup, chopped
• Lime - 1, juiced
• Olive oil - 1 tablespoon
• Salt - to taste
• Black pepper - to taste

Steps

1. Peel the jícama and slice it into thin rounds, approximately 1/4 inch thick, to create taco 'shells'.
2. In a bowl, combine the cooked chickpeas, halved cherry tomatoes, diced avocado, chopped red onion, and cilantro.
3. Drizzle with lime juice and olive oil, then season with salt and black pepper to taste. Mix gently to combine without mashing the avocado.
4. Take a jícama slice and spoon the chickpea mixture onto it, folding it slightly to form a taco shape.
5. Repeat with the remaining jícama slices and filling, then serve immediately, garnished with extra cilantro if desired.
