Ingredients
  

Tacos

  • 8 wraps jicama wraps/tortillas
  • 8 oz cooked chicken or pork
  • 1 English cucumber
  • 1 red bell pepper
  • 6 scallions
  • 1 cup coleslaw mix (cabbage blend)
  • 1 lime
  • crushed peanuts as desired, for garnish
  • chopped cilantro as desired, for garnish

Peanut Sauce

  • cup smooth peanut butter
  • 1 clove fresh garlic minced
  • ½ tablespoon toasted sesame oil
  • 2 tablespoon reduced sodium soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon maple syrup or honey
  • ¼ teaspoon red pepper flakes
  • juice of ½ a lime
  • ¼ cup water or as needed

Instructions
 

  • Pull out the jicama "tortillas" so they can warm to room temperature while you prep the ingredients and peanut sauce. 
  • Slice the bell pepper, scallions, cucumber, and cooked protein of choice into julienne-size strips.
  • For the Peanut Sauce: In a small bowl, combine the peanut butter, sesame oil, soy sauce, minced garlic, maple syrup (or honey), lime juice from ½ a lime, and the red pepper flakes. Whisk until completely combined. Add the water to the peanut butter mixture in tablespoon increments, whisking until well incorporated. 
  • To Assemble: Place your jicama "tortillas" on your desired serving dish. Place 2-3 slices of your protein on each taco. Next, place 2-3 slices of each vegetable (the cucumber, the bell pepper, and the scallions) atop the protein. Add a sprinkle of cabbage mix atop that. Squeeze lime juice over each taco. Next, drizzle each taco with a hefty amount of peanut sauce. 
  • Garnish with crushed peanuts and cilantro. Serve immediately. 

Notes

  • Jicama wraps are best warm or cold. For this recipe, warm or cold jicama wraps will work. To warm, heat on a microwave-safe plate at short intervals until warm.
  • You may have extra vegetables.
