Servings:
Serves 1 to 4 (Depending on your appetite)I stole this idea from “Top Chef” contestant Richard Blais and twisted it a bit to fit me. It’s so light and tasty I just scarfed down all of it.
Ingredients:
1 Jicama, sliced very thin
1 Tomato, Choppped
1 Tomatillo (or another tomato),
Chopped
1 Green Onion, Sliced thin
1 Clove Garlic, Mashed
1 Avocado, Mashed with a fork
1 Small Lime, Squeezed
1 Chili
Pepper, Chopped
¼ Bunch of Cilantro, Chopped
1 teaspoon Coriander
1 teaspoon Sea Salt
½ teaspoon
Pepper
1 Mango, Sliced
Preparation:
1. Slice your jicama as thinly as you can so it can be folded.
2. Mix the other ingredients except the mango completely.
3. Serve the
guacamole inside the jicama and top with the mango.

Yes, anmanoel, you are so right! lol, I cheesed because I didn't have any papaya to speak of, only mango. Just in case anyone is interested at my inspiration, here is the link! http://recipes.bravotv.com/top_chef/season_4/episode_3_2/vegetar... they are really pretty.

Im not sure if he was raw, but it was a quick fire challenge where they were required to come up with a fresh new idea for tacos, and voila, this is somewhat close to what he had with a few changes. I think a raw top chef would rock!

Im totally with you omshanti. I ADORE jicama. The first time I had it I was like, what's this Gi-Ca-Ma stuff. It's fabulously versatile. I'm going to try making samosas with it tomorrow hee hee hee!!!!
