This well-loved Mexican dish features black beans, jicama, avocado, corn, lime juice, and seasonings tossed together and piled up high on top of crunchy tortillas, and it’s ready in less than 30 minutes. This vegetarian entrée requires minimal cooking—just toasting the tortillas—and is mostly vegetable prep. Feel free to use fresh corn instead of frozen. Jicama is a tuber that is juicy, slightly sweet, and wonderfully crunchy, similar in texture to an crisp apple. You need to peel jicama’s thick, papery skin, but use a sharp chef’s knife, not a vegetable peeler, for the best results. This recipe can easily be doubled for larger gatherings.
