I'm not a big fan of spicy food, so I used a mild chile powder. It was still delicious!

I added a bit of honey to the chile dust to make it a little sweeter. It was delicious!

This recipe is a great way to use up leftover jicama. I always have a few pieces of jicama left over after I make a stir-fry, and this is a great way to use them up.

This recipe is a great way to use up leftover oranges. I always have a few oranges sitting around after I make a pitcher of orange juice, and this is a great way to use them up.

I served this dish with a side of grilled chicken and it was delicious. The chicken was a great way to balance out the sweetness of the oranges and jicama.

I used a variety of chile powders to make the chile dust, including ancho, guajillo, and chipotle. It gave the dish a really complex flavor.
