Real Mexican "Pico de Gallo" is a very simple recipe using ground dried chiles as a condiment with various fruits.

Mix the jicama and oranges together, and season with salt and cayenne to taste.
* Very tart cooking apples may be substituted for the jicama, although the results may be less than perfect, since jicama has a unique flavor that is not easily duplicated.
I tried this recipe, substituting Jim Campbell's apple smoked habinero powder for cayenne and it tasted great. (Usual disclaimers apply) ;{)
