I have a jicama wrap for you . . . and a jicama wrap for you . . . and a jicama wrap for you (I’m pointing to all of y’all)! I’ve been having this love affair with jicama for a while now, you’ve probably seen some of the posts here and on Instagram– this is one of my favorite, Three No-Cook Jicama Recipes for Summer. I now have a new addition to the no-cook meal solutions — Four No-Cook Jicama Wraps! It’s the perfect solution for the dog days of summer — and speaking of the “dog days,” check out my Lucy helping me with yoga!
I revisited this jicama obsession when I noticed that my grocery store started stocking jicama “tortillas” in their produce department. They are made in-house and sold in the convenience prepped veggie section – I did a little jump for joy when I first spotted them sitting there waiting for me. I’ve drooled over all the jicama “taco” recipes on Pinterest, but I’ve never been able to slice my jicama that thin (cause I’m not losing a finger on the mandolin)! Yay, now I have people that do that for me!
I originally made this collection of jicama tacos (or wraps or rollups – what does one call them?) to showcase the OPA by Litehouse™ Greek Yogurt Dressings. I love those dressings, they taste so rich and indulgent but they have fewer calories than traditional dressings . . . and more protein, too!
Some of the perks of these jicama rollups – the are Paleo friendly depending exactly what you put on top; they are crispy, crunch and low calorie; and, whoot-whoot – there is no heating up the kitchen with the oven.
Sliced Black Mission Figs + Arugula + Artisan Reserve Blue Cheese + Balsamic Syrup + OPA by Litehouse™ Blue Cheese Dressing
Black Beans+ Mango Pico de Gallo + Cilantro + OPA by Litehouse™ Jalapeno Ranch Dressing
Matchstick Carrots+ Thawed Frozen Peas + Radish Slice +Fresh Dill + OPA by Litehouse™ Feta Dill Dressing
Quinoa + Tomato Slices + Flat Parsley + OPA by Litehouse™ Ranch Dressing
Full disclosure on this one — the quinoa is cooked, obviously. It was leftover — use any leftover grain that you have like brown rice, wheat berry, couscous and so on!

I’ve never heard of jicama wraps! What a great idea! I try to cook as little as possible in August. It was around 112 today. No need to make the A/C work any harder than necessary.
good lordy, 112. We are hovering 100 – 104 in Austin. I remember growing up in AZ and being sent home from day camp because it was 126
These look amazing and so delicious! I haven’t heard of jicama wraps either. Will have to look out for these!
So much easier than trying to slice it thin yourself – – – and since it doesn’t oxidize, they stay fresh for quite a while
I LOVE ME SOME RAW RAW RAW jicama.
I need to step up my jicama game a bit though 🙂
Seriously, get this pre-sliced jicama and HEB (only place I’ve seen it) and you’re life will be trasformed
I LOVE JICAMA. I always request it at Mexican restaurants as a complimentary “chip” to the chips. I went through a pretty powerful phase last year where I used or had jicama with everything! A perfect vehicle 😀
Girl, I REMEMBER that you love it and wasn’t surprised to see you checking these babies out 😉
these look so good! I especially love the no-cook part!
Sometimes “assembling” dinners are the best!
I absolutely LOVE jicama! Will have to pull out the mandolin soon 😉
I am impressed that you have mandolin skills . . .me not so much
Yum!!!! I’ll have one of each!
I have leftover “tortillas” and we are having shrimp avocado tonight, come on over
So you just slide the jicama super thin? I did that to make then into nachos, but I love this idea too. So easy and refreshing!
when I made the nachos and a dessert pizza, I sliced pretty thin . . . but I purchased these from the produce section at my market (where they in-house cut up veggies for recipes and the grill) — they are sliced sooooooooo wafer thin that they are super flexible like a tortilla
I’ve never tried Jicama but now I want to! All of these wraps look great 🙂
What? What?! You must try jicama, you ABSOLUTELY must!
