What Are Jicama Wraps?
Ever heard of jicama wraps? They’re simply slices of jicama, a crunchy and slightly sweet root vegetable. Using jicama slices instead of traditional flour or corn tortillas gives you a deliciously different way to enjoy tacos while keeping things low-carb. They also add a fresh, unique flavor that makes your tacos stand out.
When it comes to nutrition, jicama wraps are a great choice for anyone watching their carbs. In one cup of jicama, there are only 46 calories and 5 grams of net carbs. Plus, you get a healthy dose of fiber—6 grams per cup! Jicama is also packed with vitamins and minerals, including vitamin C, vitamin B6, and calcium, making it a nutritious addition to your meals.
So, next time you’re craving tacos but want to keep it light and healthy, give jicama wraps a try. They’re tasty, nutritious, and a fun twist on a classic favorite!
