Jicama Chili Sticks
By: Bergy
Jan 7, 2002
In Mexico you can buy these on just about every street corner. They are usually round slices heavily laden with chili. Very refreshing. When you buy a Jicama make sure it is very firm and free from mold patches. When you slice it open the flesh must be white otherwise it is too old. This is a very low calorie recipe, it fact it is low everything!

YUUM! I am addicted to these now! Sometimes I add some fresh orange slices and kiwi. The chili powder with the lime juice is wonderful together and I never pour off the extra lime juice I drink it! LOL

Wonderful. Absolutely perfect little snack after I get home from work. Super crunchy, super satisfying, and super healthy alternative. I cut my sticks quite skinny to make it feel like there were more of them. I went really light on the chili powder at first and ended up putting quite a bit more after realizing how flavorful the chili powder was on the jicama. Really great! Thanks for posting such a simple recipe that I would have never thought of!

I know this is good because I have enjoyed Jicama this way for several years. When we first moved to New Mexico we visited a Swap Meet in Las Cruces where they sell a "fruit cup" it includes Jicama,watermelon, cantaloupe, pineapple and cucumber all cut in strips and sprinkled with lime and red chile. The only difference is they also add salt to the red chile. I now enjoy apples, pears, most any type of fruit with the lime, red chile and salt sprinkled over them!! Betty Jo Weathersby
