Mexican Fruit Cup Tacos

Sharing is caring!

Jicama wrap Mexican fruit cup tacos are a fun spin on a classic snack, Mexican fruit cups. Trader Joe’s jicama wraps, chile lime seasoning, chamoy, and fruit make this easy and delicious snack.

Mexican fruit cups are a delicious snack. Traditionally they contain fresh fruit, chile lime seasoning, and chamoy sauce and they’re served in a cup or bowl, but we’re turning them into wraps or tacos with the jicama wraps from Trader Joe’s.

Since Mexican fruit cups traditionally have chunks of jicama in them we swapped that out for jicama wraps instead. You can either buy your wraps or make your own.

Where to buy Jicama Wraps

You can buy Jicama wraps at Trader Joe’s, Sprouts, and Whole Foods.

Jicafoods.com has a store locator available.

If you don’t have either of those stores locally you can always make your own. Gourmet Done Skinny has a good tutorial on how to make them.

What is Jicama

If you’ve never had jicama (hi·kuh·muh) before it’s a root vegetable sometimes called a Mexican potato. It’s crunchy and starchy with a slightly sweet taste sort of like a potato mixed with an apple or pear. It’s low calorie and low carb, so it’s a healthier food option.

What Fruit to Use in Mexican Fruit Cup Wraps

When it comes to fruit in Mexican fruit cups traditionally you’ll have a mix of mango, watermelon, jicama, and cucumber. Sometimes you’ll find it with papaya or pineapple as well.

You can use whatever fruit you have on hand, is easy to find, and that is currently in season. It’s best to use fresh fruit.

Fruit and Vegetable options include:

• Papaya
• Mango
• Watermelon
• Pineapple
• Jicama
• Cucumber
• Strawberries
• Cantelope
• Honey Dew Melon
• Apple
• Pear
• Oranges
• Berries
• Peach

What is Chile Lime Seasoning

For these fruit cup wraps, we’re going to use a chile-lime seasoning. You can use either Tajin, which you can find at any grocery store or Trader Joe’s Chile Lime Seasoning. Trader Joe’s Chile Lime Seasoning is similar to Tajin, but their own version.

Chile lime seasoning has dried chiles, lime, and salt. Some people find it has a mild spice to it, but I don’t think it has very much spice.

What is Chamoy

Chamoy is a savory sauce or condiment used in Mexico. It’s typically used in Mexican fruit cups or on the rim of a cup for a drink called a Michelada. It pairs nicely with fruit and is made from a combination of lime, chile peppers, and fruit such as apricot or mango. It’s sweet, spicy, and a little bit sour.

Where to buy Chamoy – You can find Chamoy in most Mexican grocery stores and sometimes in your local grocery store like Walmart. You can also grab it on Amazon.
