Ingredients
- 3/4 cup jicama julienne-cut, peeled
- 1/2 cup Mango diced
- 1 1/4 cup red onion divided, sliced
- 1 tablespoon lime juice fresh
- 1 tablespoon cilantro finely chopped
- 1/2 teaspoon sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon salt divided
- black pepper dash
- 2 tablespoons olive oil divided
- 1 pound chicken breast cut into bite-sized chunks or into thin strips, boneless, skinless
- 1/2 teaspoon chili powder
- 1/2 teaspoon cumin ground
- 1 cup red bell pepper sliced
- 8 (6-inch) flour tortillas
- 1 cup salad greens mixed
Instructions
- In a medium bowl, combine the jicama, mango, 1/4 cup of the sliced red onion, lime juice, cilantro, sugar, 1/4 teaspoon of the salt, and the pepper. Let it sit until the tacos are ready, letting the flavors combine.
- Heat 1 tablespoon of the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
- Sprinkle the chicken with the chili powder and cumin. Add the chicken to the hot skillet and cook until the chicken is browned and almost cooked through, about 3-4 minutes. Remove to a plate.
- Add the remaining tablespoon of oil to the skillet. Add the pepper and the remaining onion. Cook until the vegetables are crisp-tender, 3-5 minutes. Season with the remaining salt, then return the chicken to the skillet and continue to cook until the chicken is cooked through, another 3-5 minutes.
- Warm the tortillas. To serve, place about 2 tablespoons of the greens down the center of each tortilla. Top with 1/3 cup of the chicken, the 2 tablespoons of the mango and jicama salad.
