How to Prepare Raw Jicama Chili Cheese Fries [Vegan, Gluten-Free]

To Make the Fries:

Cut jicama into matchsticks; about 1/4-inch to 1/2-inch thick. Toss jicama with spices.
Lay them out evenly on the dehydrator tray, and dehydrate at 115°F for 1 hour, or until the outsides start to wilt.

To Make the Cheese:

Soak cashews for 15 minutes. Add all the ingredients to a blender and blend until smooth and creamy.

To Make the Salsa:

Either cut everything with a knife, dice the tomatoes and mince the herbs. Or, lightly blend it.

To Make the Raw Vegan Taco Meat:

Roughly chop the carrots.
Process all of the ingredients together in a food processor until desired texture.

Notes

The Raw Taco Meat serves 6, so you'll have some left over!
