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.

  2. NOTE: Assembled enchiladas can be held, refrigerated, up to one hour before service.

To make Pastor Sauce

  1. Place all ingredients in a food processor and process until pureed. Cover and refrigerate for up to six days. Makes 1-2/3 cups.
