  and pulse, leaving the consistency a little chunky, or process until smooth like
  refried beans. I have tried both methods and prefer the latter because it is
  less work.

  A wide jicama works well, but if it is too wide, it may not fit on the
  mandoline, and you may have to cut off the sides to make it fit.
• 5 Spritz some lemon juice on sliced jicama to prevent browning.
• 6 Layer on black beans (hot or cold), salsa fresca, chipotle cream, and cilantro.
