Pico de Gallo

If you haven’t made homemadePico de Gallothen today is your day! This is a classic Mexican recipe that only uses a handful of ingredients including fresh tomatoes, onion, garlic, jalapeño, lime juice and salt. Easy and so tasty.

Pico de Gallo is the best to top ontacos,enchiladas, burritos (like myCalifornia Burrito recipe), salads or dip your favorite tortilla chips in. It tastes fresh and really adds another dimension to anything you put it on.

Don’t be alarmed that thispico de gallorecipe calls for jalapeños. You can cater the spiciness depending on how many you put in. If you want your pico to taste extra spicy than I suggest leaving in the seeds.

Why You’ll Love This Recipe:

• Fresh crunchy and full of flavor!
• Can be added to a variety of foods or eaten as a dip
• Lasts a good while in the fridge

Ingredients:

• Roma tomatoes:my favorite for this recipe because they are very meaty and not too juicy in the middle, that being said, use what you have on hand or what is in season
• White onion:again, you can use what you like or have on hand. You can also use yellow onion, sweet onion, or red onion
• Jalapenos:these give a little heat to the pico, use more or less to your liking, I normally double them!
• Cloves garlic:a little fresh garlic in this recipe goes a long way, it just adds nice flavor but it’s subtle
• Lime juice:this is the acid in the recipe and is needed the bring everything together, trust me, the lime juice is magic
• Cilantro:so much flavor from one little plant, my brother-in-law hates cilantro and if you do too, you can skip it (though I recommend trying it if it’s new to you!)
