I made this tonight to go along with the Grilled Tilapia Soft Taco Recipe found on this site. My grocery store was out of jicama, so I just used red cabbage instead and it was still really good. It made a LOT of slaw though....next time I will cut the recipe in half. My husband LOVED the meal (and he's Cuban so he knows Hispanic flair!)
