Note

For best texture, ensure the pineapple is drained well to prevent the bread from becoming soggy.

You can substitute whole grain bread with multigrain or sourdough for different flavor profiles.

If you prefer a spicier kick, increase the amount of sriracha sauce or add a pinch of red pepper flakes.

This dish is best served immediately after assembly to maintain the crispness of the toast.

Jicama can be peeled and diced ahead of time; store in water in the refrigerator to prevent browning.
