Instructions
To prepare enchiladas
Blanch jicama slices in boiling water until very flexible, about 10 seconds. Quickly plunge into ice water to cool. Remove jicama slices from ice water and pat dry. Lay a jicama slice on a work surface and brush with 1 to 2 teaspoons Pastor Sauce. Place one mango wedge on bottom third of each slice and roll up. Repeat. Place enchiladas on a platter for family service or individual plates (2 per serving); top with your choice of garnishes.
NOTE: Assembled enchiladas can be held, refrigerated, up to one hour before service.
To make Pastor Sauce
Place all ingredients in a food processor and process until pureed. Cover and refrigerate for up to six days. Makes 1-2/3 cups.
