Jícama con limón

Here's a simple yet yummy treat to share with your kiddos- a common snack in México.

You need:
1 small-medium jícama (the bigger they are, the more fibrous they are)
Juice of one lime
cayenne pepper (optional- and boy, does it go a long way!)

Remove the skin of the jícama and slice in julienne strips
Add juice of the lime and mix.
Sprinkle with cayenne pepper (be stingy! :))

Serve in little cups. This is enough for one class, maybe two if they are small. I find that it's better if I hold the cayenne off and let each kid choose whether he/she wants it. It should really by piquin peppers but I can't get those around here. At any rate, most kids have never tasted a jícama so it's a great snack that has some novelty but won't turn off the vast majority of your students.

Enjoy!
