Jicama Street Tacos are an AIP/Paleo version of the delicious dish at a certain chain restaurant. Garnish with limes and cilantro for full flavor!

THESE! I used to love the PF Changs version of Jicama Street Tacos before I went on the autoimmune protocol. I’ve now made my own version, one which is totally AIP! Street tacos for alllllllllllll!!! In addition to being really tasty, they are also nutritious.

If you’ve never tried jicama before, I encourage you to branch out. Jicama is readily available in the produce section of your grocery store. You’ve probably walked by it many times before, never realizing its nutritional value. It’s high in carbohydrates in the form of dietary fiber, and an excellent source of vitamin C. It is crisp, and slightly sweet, despite being very low in sugars. In this recipe, the jicama is eaten raw.
A note about coconut aminos: If you’ve never used them before, look in the aisle where the soy sauce resides. They will be in a bottle resembling soy sauce, but without the soy. (No soy on the AIP diet.) My preferred brand is Big Tree Farms Oraganic. To me, it has the richest color and flavor. Now go make some tacos! 🌮
If you need help (or just want a little laugh), watch the tutorial video.
Happy munching!!!

This was delicious! I think I need some more practice or sharper knives to cut the jicama thin so it’s pliable. BTW could you recommend a good knife sharpener for Wustof/Henckel knives? As with your jicama mango slaw recipe, it inspired me to finally prep a jicama all on my own without buying the pre-cut version (which would spoil more quickly). I love crunch so jicama will definitely become a staple as well as this recipe. I added a dollop of your avocado cilantro dip on top. Love it!
Your video is so creative, funny & well made! Looks like you had fun producing it!
Hi, Renee! Thanks for this lovely message. 😊 I get my knives professionally sharpened. I have both Western-style and Asian-style knives, which have different angles at which they are sharpened. That’s why I leave it to the pros! BTW, Trader Joe’s carries jicama wraps that are already sliced super thin. They’re a real time-saver!
Wonderful! I’ll look for the wraps my next trip! Also, thanks for (unintentionally) reminding me I should take my knives to the pros, especially for the investment I made. I did make my edges worse by attempting it myself many years ago.
