OK this is way YUMMY!! It is a new Pampered Chef recipe that I tried and it has become one of my favorites. It is one you need to try. I love that it is cold perfect for summer.

Cool and Crunchy Chicken Tacos

12- Hard Taco Shells

3 cups cooked, diced chicken
1/2 a small jicama
1 small mango
1/4 tsp salt
1 avocado peeled and sliced (optional)

Shred Lettuce; zest limes to measure about 1 tsp; juice limes to measure about 3 tbsp; Place zest, juice, mayo, cumin, and cayenne paper in large mixing bowl. Mix well. Spoon 1/3 cup of this sauce into resealable plastic baggie you will use this to drizzle the top of your taco. Add chicken to remaining sauce mix well. Peel jicama and mango cut and slice into pieces place in medium mixing bowl, chop cilantro and add to jicama and mango, and salt and the the juice of the remaining lime. mix well. Fill taco shells with lettuce, chicken mixture, jicama and mango mixture, cut off corner of baggie and drizzle with sauce and enjoy.

If I don't like hicama should I use it? Or is it more for a texture? Sounds yummy

I would not use the hicama if you don't like it just use the avacado and mango

I think I'm going to try these, but on tortillas. Only because I have tortillas and no hard shell tacos. I'm excited to taste these!
