Besides being tasty and refreshing, pico de gallo is also fast and easy to make. You’ll spend less than 10 minutes in the kitchen and a batch of this Mexican goodness will already be ready. Check out how to make it.
Ingredients:
- 4 large tomatoes
- 1 large white onion
- 1 chili pepper (serrano or jalapeno)
- 1 lime
- 1 bunch of cilantro
Instructions:
- Clean the onion and dice it. The smaller, the better.
- Move the chopped onion to a bowl and squeeze the lime to get all of the lime juice out. You can also add a bit of zest for tangier flavor.
- Finely chop the tomatoes, chili pepper, and cilantro. Follow the same rule as with the onion, meaning the finer chop, the better pico de gallo (Note: If you don’t want pico de gallo to be too hot, remove the seeds from the chili pepper before chopping).
- Combine the chopped tomatoes, chili pepper, and cilantro in a bowl with onions. Salt to taste.
- Give it a good mix, and then try the pico de gallo. See if you would like it to be saltier and/or tangier. Add more salt or lime juice if that’s the case.
- Enjoy.
