At my Be Well Brunch Party, I was hosting a bunch of healthy
ladies so I wanted to come up with healthy taco idea.
Instead of corn tortilla or wheat tortilla, I used jicama,
which a crunchy vegetable – similar to apple but less sweet.
High in fiber, super crunchy and sliced thinly, makes a great “shell” for a taco!
Instead of fish (fish taco) or chicken or beef,
I made it vegan with chickpea hummus. Total success.
Easy and delish. Try it!
Jicama-Hummus Tacos
Ingredients:
1 jicama
1 can chickpeas (soaked and drained)
1/3 cup tahini
2 tbs olive oil
2 tbs water
2 garlic cloves
1/2 lemon (squeeze out the juice)
1/4 tsp sea salt
toppings: green and red peppers, shredded, lettuce, tomatoes, avocado
Directions:
1. slice jicama thinly and cut into circular shapes
2. blend chickpeas, tahini, olive oil, water, garlic, lemon and sea salt until creamy
3. spread a dollop of hummus on each piece of jicama, add whatever taco toppings you want and fold in half and place a toothpick int he middle to hold it together.
Voila!
be festive. be creative. be well.
