Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 whole Roma tomatoes
- 1 medium White onion
- 1 bunch Fresh cilantro
- 2 whole Jalapeño peppers
- 2 whole Lime
- 1 whole Garlic clove
- 1 teaspoon Salt
Instructions
Wash all the produce thoroughly under cold running water.
Dice the Roma tomatoes into small, even-sized pieces and place them in a large mixing bowl.
Peel and finely chop the white onion. Add it to the bowl with the tomatoes.
Finely chop the fresh cilantro leaves, discarding the thick stems. Add the cilantro to the mixing bowl.
Slice the jalapeño peppers in half and remove the seeds and membranes for less heat, or leave them intact for a spicier pico de gallo. Finely dice the jalapeños and add them to the bowl.
Mince the garlic clove and stir it into the mixture.
Squeeze the juice of two limes over the ingredients in the bowl, ensuring all the produce is coated evenly.
Sprinkle the salt over the top and gently fold the mixture together using a spoon or spatula. Taste and adjust salt if needed.
Let the pico de gallo sit for 10 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.
Serve immediately with tortilla chips or as a topping for your favorite dishes. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
