At first I was overwhelmed at the things I could not eat. I opted to make a few things from the recipe pamphlet she gave me just to be on the safe side. I was thankful that it included quite a few vegan options.
Tuesday afternoon I was beside myself with cravings for everything I couldn't have (in addition to a nice little headache due to caffeine withdrawal). I wanted something spicy, I wanted something crunchy, I friggin wanted tacos!
Unbeknownst to me, one of our local grocery stores (H-E-B) sells Jicama Tacos. I picked some up and tried them out . Truth be told, they didn't satisfy the craving. While they are good, they are essentially veggie roll-ups - shredded carrots or cucumbers wrapped in a jicama tortilla.
I also picked up some Jicama Tortillas ... these things have been life changing.
I've cut them into squares and dipped them in salsa, make a quesadilla out of them (with guacamole), and made these little gems. I have literally had them for dinner every night for the past week!
I make my tacos cold, which is quite refreshing during the heat of the summer.
