This rather ugly vegetable contains a delicious surprise inside. Once you peel off the brown skin, inside a crunchy flesh that will remind you of a sweet water chestnut. Now it is widely available in produce stores nationwide. Once peeled, just cut the jicama into sticks like carrots or shred. Enjoy as is or with a sprinkle of lime juice.
Fresh mangoes have a delicate almost peach like taste and heady aroma.
Just peel the mango and cut around its long core. Mangoes are not available all year long. Look for plump ones with lots of red in the skin. Tortillas made from corn are the healthiest, so look for them more often than the ones made with just flour. Try using tortillas as a change of pace.
