If you are not yet familiar with this root vegetable, it's time. One species in the genus Pachyrhizus, Jicama is sweet, crunchy and a great alternative to chips for dipping. It can be found in the produce department of most large food chains. The lime and chili powder combined with the flavor and texture of the Jicama in this recipe is different and wonderful. A little cerveza or cactus juice goes down well with it, as well.
