1/4 cup fresh-squeezed orange juice

1 tablespoon fresh-squeexed lime juice

1 tablespoon cider vinegar

1 teaspoon chile powder

1 teaspoon Dijon-style mustard

1/2 teaspoon honey

1/4 teaspoon ground cumin

1/8 teaspoon salt

2 tablespoons olive oil

1 cup finely diced jicama

1 cup finely diced red bell pepper

1 cup Tofu Chorizo -- (at room temperature)

The tartness of lime and the sweetness of bell pepper and jicama balance the

flavors in this spicy salad.

 

1. In a small bowl, whisk together orange Juice, lime juice, vinegar, chile

powder, mustard, honey, cumin and salt. Slowly pour in olive oil and whisk for a

no ute to emulsify. (Do this ahead of time, if possible, so flavors have time to

blend; whisk again before using-)

 

2. Preheat oven to 375F. Cut tortillas into 6 or 8 triangles each and place

pieces on a baking sheet. Bake for 8 to 10 minutes, until tortillas are crisp

and lightly browned.

well combined. Transfer to a large salad bowl or place equal portions of salad

in each of 4 shallow serving bowls.
