Calories: 158kcal
Ingredients
- 1 medium jicama
- 1 large lime adjust to taste
- 2 Tablespoons Tajin seasoning adjust to taste
Instructions
- Thoroughly rinse the jicama to remove any dirt. Pat dry with a clean kitchen towel or paper towel.
- Place the jicama on a study cutting board and use a sharp chef’s knife then very carefully slice off both ends so that it can lay flat.
- Working from the top and down the sides, slice off the skin all around the jicama. Make sure to remove all the tough fibrous skin too.
- Slice thick even-sized slices then cut into large, thick sticks. You can leave the jicama as sticks or chop into smaller pieces.
- Place the jicama pieces in a bowl then drizzle with freshly squeezed lime juice and sprinkle with as much Tajin as you’d like. If you’re using ground chile then you’ll also want sprinkle with salt to taste.
- Serve and enjoy your delicious jicama snack!
