    Hi Pati! I love your show. Especially how you visit the places you get your recipes from. Reminds me of visiting my grandparents in a little town called Amatlan de Canas in Nayarit. Last time I went was 20 years ago and my abuelita was still pulling water out of a well and swinging chickens by the neck when she needed to make us a meal. Everything she did was by hand. Her stove/oven was made of adobe that was open on one end so she could feed a long tree branch in so she could cook all day. one branch would last 3 days just by feeding it in a little at a time. She has since passed and the property was sold. Every time I watch your show it takes me back to that little town that dates back to the Aztecas. I bought your book, Treasures of the Mexican Table. I’ve made a few of the recipes already. Today, I am making your Salsa Bandera Con Jicama Y Pina. Can’t wait to add it to my shrimp tacos!

    I really liked this recipe. Served it with chilorio quesadillas that you recently made on GMA. I like to eat pico like a salad and the pineapple and jicama were wonderful. It helps balance out the richness of cheese and rich meats. Thank you, Pati, for this recipe

    I missed the show, what is jicama? I have never had that.

      Jicama is this delicious, crisp, white-fleshed legume that is very widely used in Mexican cooking, even just as a snack with lime juice, salt and chili pepper, yum!

    What would you recommend serving this with?

      Hi Lisa, on the show I served this with the double stacked shrimp tacos, but I can also see it on top of some grilled white fish or as a sort of pico to top tacos 😉
