Ingredients
1 teaspoon of coconut oil
1 cup soy chorizo
6 paper thin slices of peeled, raw, whole jicama
1/2 cup Cucumber
1/4 cup fresh salsa fresca
3 tbl spoon of guacamole

Instructions:

Place a heavy-bottomed skillet over medium high heat and drizzle in the coconut oil. When the pan is hot and the oil is shimmery, toss in the soyrizo. Break them up slightly with a sturdy wooden spoon and allow them to heat up thoroughly and become crispy in places. Remove the pan from the heat.

Using a taco holder to hold them, gently fold a jicama slice into a taco shape. Divide the soy chorizo between the jicama shells. Add salsa fresca and guacamole and sprinkle some fresh chopped cilantro leaves. Serve with a fresh spring mix side salad drizzled with balsamic vinegar and extra virgin olive oil.
