servings
Ingredients
- 4 whole Roma tomatoes petite diced
- ½ small sweet onion or red onion
- ½ jalapeño pepper seeded
- 1 clove garlic finely chopped or minced
- 1 tbsp. cilantro finely chopped
- 1 whole lime juiced
- 1 tbsp. olive oil
- ¼ tsp. cumin powder
- salt & pepper to taste
Instructions
- Wash and dry all your fresh ingredients.
- Finely dice the tomatoes, onion, jalapeño (seeded), chop the cilantro, and mince the garlic.
- In a bowl, mix together all the ingredients. Season with salt, cumin and a dash of black pepper to taste.
- Recommended: For the best taste, cover the bowl and refrigerate the pico de gallo for at least 30 minutes before serving. This allows the flavors to meld.
- Once chilled, give it a final stir and serve your homemade spicy pico de gallo with tortilla chips, tacos, grilled meats, or as a refreshing salsa for various dishes.
Notes
-
- Heat Control: Adjust the heat by removing or keeping the seeds from the jalapeño. More seeds mean more heat!
- Chill Time: Let the flavors mingle by refrigerating for at least 30 minutes before serving.
- Freshness is Key: Use ripe, firm tomatoes, lime and fresh cilantro for the best taste.
- Pico De Gallo without Cilantro: You can make Pico de Gallo without cilantro if you don't like the flavor of Cilantro. Simply add some finely chopped Italian parsley instead.
