Jicama Tortillas Recipe

Jicama Tortillas Recipe

Ingredients:

  • 1 large jicama

Directions:

  1. Wash the jicama thoroughly under cool water, using a vegetable brush to remove any dirt.
  2. Trim both ends of the jicama and peel the skin off with a vegetable peeler, ensuring all tough flesh is removed.
  3. Cut the jicama in half crosswise, then slice each half into paper-thin pieces using a sharp knife or a mandoline with the thinnest blade.
  4. Use the slices immediately as crisp tortillas, or store them in a resealable plastic bag in the fridge for up to a week.

Recipe Tip:

There are a few ways to soften the jicama slices if you prefer them more pliable:

  • Steam: Place the slices in a steamer insert and steam over boiling water for 2 minutes. Drain on a kitchen towel.
  • Microwave: Place the slices in a microwave-safe bowl with 2 tablespoons of water, cover, and microwave on high for 2 minutes. Drain on a kitchen towel.
  • Griddle: Heat a large griddle over medium heat. Brush the slices lightly with oil and cook until soft, about 30 seconds per side.

The jicama tortillas didn't quite hit the mark for me. I found that they tasted better when eaten crunchy and heated slightly. However, when they were heated too much, they took on a strange taste and smell that was off-putting. Eating them cold and crunchy wasn't too bad though.
