Jicama con Pepino y Chile

By Christina C. Keimig
A popular snack here in Mexico that can be bought on many street corners or (more safely!) easily prepared at home is any kind of fruit with chili powder, salt, and lemon juice. I've described how to prepare one of my favorite combinations here.
  • 1 jicama
  • 1 cucumber
  • chili powder (chile piquín/chile de árbol)
  • 1-2 lemons (3+ Mexican limones)
  • salt to taste

Peel and slice up the jicama and cucumber. Sprinkle with chili powder and salt to taste, then squeeze lemon juice over the whole thing, also to taste. We like lots of lemon on ours so we can mix it up once in a while and recoat the whole mess! We also like to let it marinate for a bit before serving, but it's not absolutely necessary. Enjoy!
