Elaboración paso a paso
- Prepare the Vegetables: Peel and julienne the jicamas, carrots, and cucumbers into matchstick-sized pieces. The julienned style not only makes the cups easier to eat but also allows the flavors to meld better.
- Assemble the Fruit Cups: Begin by drizzling a small amount of chamoy at the bottom of each cup. This will give a nice flavor surprise as you reach the bottom of the cup.
- Layer the julienned jicama, carrots, and cucumber evenly among the six cups. Press lightly to compact the layers slightly, making the cups easier to handle and eat.
- Season the Cups: Squeeze the juice of half a lime over the vegetables in each cup. This will help to bring out the vibrant flavors of the produce and add a refreshing zest.
- Sprinkle a generous amount of Tajín over the contents for that iconic spicy and tangy flavor profile.
- Add a pinch of salt to each cup to enhance the natural sweetness and flavors of the vegetables.
- Top with More Chamoy: Finish each cup with another drizzle of chamoy on top. This not only adds a beautiful color contrast but also layers the flavors from top to bottom.
- Serve Immediately: Serve the cups immediately, or keep them chilled in the refrigerator until ready to serve. They are best enjoyed cold, offering a crisp and refreshing treat.
