Pico De Gallo Recipe
Pico de Gallo is a Mexican salsa (salsa Fresca) made of raw tomatoes, onion, salt, lime juice, and cilantro. It's delicious, tangy, and so fresh! Leave out the jalapenos for a non-spicy pico de gallo recipe and top it over your favorite Mexican food like beef enchiladas, Mexican rice, bean dishes, soups, tacos, grilled meats, quesadillas, or taco salad!
Ingredients
Pico De Gallo:
- 3 Roma tomatoes (8 oz or 1.5 cups of diced tomatoes)
- 1/2 cup diced white onion (about 1/2 of medium onion)
- 1/2 jalapeno pepper* (de-seeded and finely minced)
- 1/4 cup fresh cilantro (chopped)
- 1 Tbsp lime juice (from half a lime)
- 1/2 tsp sea salt
Instructions
How to make Pico De Gallo:
Dice the tomatoes, onion, and jalapeno pepper. Chop the cilantro and add everything to a medium glass bowl.
Stir in 1 Tbsp of lime juice and season with 1/2 tsp salt. Serve right away or cover and refrigerate for up to 3 days.
Notes
- Notes: for mild pico de gallo, use a jalapeno pepper and finely mince the jalapeno pepper. For spicy pico de gallo use half a Serrano pepper or 1/4 of a habanero pepper, seeded and minced. You can also use 1/2 Tbsp of pickled jalapenos, chopped.
- Copycat Chipotle Pico de gallo: use 9 oz of diced tomatoes, 1/4 cup cilantro, 1/4 cup onion, 3/4 Tbsp minced jalapenos, 3/4 tsp salt, 2 Tbsp lime juice, and 1 Tbsp of lemon juice. I like to add 1/2 tsp salt instead.
