Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 medium Roma tomatoes
- 1 medium White onion
- 1 medium Jalapeño pepper
- 0.5 cup (chopped) Cilantro
- 2 tablespoons Fresh lime juice
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
Instructions
Rinse the Roma tomatoes, white onion, and jalapeño thoroughly under cold water.
Dice the Roma tomatoes into small, uniform cubes and place them in a mixing bowl.
Peel and finely dice the white onion. Add it to the bowl with the tomatoes.
Slice the jalapeño pepper in half and remove the seeds and ribs for a milder salsa. Dice the jalapeño finely and add it to the bowl. If you prefer more spice, include some of the seeds.
Rinse the cilantro and pat it dry with a paper towel. Finely chop the cilantro leaves (discarding the stems) and add to the tomato mixture.
Squeeze fresh lime juice into the bowl and add the salt and black pepper.
Mix all the ingredients gently but thoroughly to combine, ensuring the lime juice and seasoning are evenly distributed.
Let the Pico de Gallo rest for 10 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.
Serve immediately with tortilla chips, or as a fresh topping for tacos, grilled meats, or any Mexican-inspired dish.
