INGREDIENTS

For the Sauce

  • 2 tablespoon tamari I recommend San-J Gluten-Free Tamari, Low Sodium
  • 1 tablespoon rice wine vinegar
  • ¼ cup hoisin sauce I recommend the gluten-free Lucky Foods brand
  • 1 tablespoon sriracha I recommend the gluten-free Yellowbird brand

For the Jicama Taco

  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • 2 stalks green onions diced
  • 1 tablespoon fresh grated ginger
  • 1 small onion diced
  • 8 ounce canned water chestnuts drained and diced
  • 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil or avocado oil
  • 1 pound ground turkey
  • salt and pepper to taste
  • 12 slices jicama wraps I get a package of 12 from Trader Joe's
  • 1 ounce broccoli sprouts

INSTRUCTIONS

Make the Sauce

  • In a small mixing bowl, whisk together the sauce ingredients and set aside.

Make the Taco Filling

  • Mince the garlic, dice the green onions, chop the onion, grate the ginger, and dice the drained water chestnuts.
  • Heat the olive oil in a skillet on medium-high heat then toss in the chopped onions and cook for a couple of minutes.
  • Combine the ground turkey with the onions and cook until the meat is browned, about 3-5 minutes.  Make sure to crumble the turkey into small pieces while cooking.
  • Stir in the sauce, ginger, garlic, water chestnuts, and green onions. Add salt and pepper to taste. Remove from heat.

Assemble the Tacos

  • Add 2-3 tablespoons of the turkey filling to each jicama wrap then top with some broccoli sprouts before serving.

NOTES

Jicama wrap tacos can be stored in the refrigerator for 3 days.  Any longer and the jicama wraps may start to turn slimy.  
Make sure to store the jicama wraps in a separate airtight container from the taco filling. When ready to eat, heat the filling in the microwave for 1-2 minutes then assemble the tacos.
