Jicama con Chili y LimónStreet vendors all over Mexico sell jicama dusted with red chili powder and offer lime wedges to squeeze over the jicama. Generally, only one end of the jicama spear is sprinkled with chili, so the spear can be picked up by the other end without getting red chili on your fingers. Serve this popular combination as an appetizer before, or with, almost any Mexican meal.
