MEXICAN PICO DE GALLO



Mexican Pico De Gallo image

Ok i learned to make this Pico de Gallo from my mother who learned it from her mother and it has been like that since the women in my family has been making it. This Pico de Gallo can can be as tangy as you want it to be if you want more lime add more if you want more spicyness add of course more jalapeños. Tips: Remove the seedsand veins of the peppers if you dont want it to be too spicy hot. Optoinal: Add Avocado to give the Pico de Gallo a blend between the spicy Jalapeños and the sweet Avocado. But be advised when you use Avocado you must eat it sooner since Avocado goes bad faster then the other ingredient, but the good news is that the acidic nature of the jalapeño keeps the avocado from spoiling so soon. Store in a sealable container in the fridge.

Number Of Ingredients 7

1/2 cup jalapeno, chopped (roughly around 5-6 peppers)
1/2-1 cup tomatoes, chopped (i use roma tomatoes but any tomatoes will doexcept green tomatoes)
1/2 cup onion, chopped (i use yellow onion, but white onions do just as good just make sure NOT to use sweet onions)
1/2 cup fresh cilantro, chopped (dont chop it until you will add it so it stays fresh longer)
2 limes, juice of (you just need the squeezed juice)
1 avocado, chopped or mashed (optional, i use Hass Avocado it has the black bumpy skin or shell)

PICO DE GALLO -- A MEXICAN FRUIT SALAD



Pico De Gallo -- a Mexican Fruit Salad image

I spend 7 hours today serving this delicious salad at a fiesta fundraiser at my daughter's school here in California. Pico de Gallo is usually known as a type of salsa, but in this case, it is a popular fruit salad spiced with a red chili powder that is popular in Mexico. Sounds odd, but it's a delicious and addictive combination. You dice the fresh fruits into chunk size pieces and mix them together in any combination you like. Today, we combined watermelon, mango, pineapple, cucumber and jicama. I will list popular fruits and veggies that can go in it and you can customize your mix.

PICO DE GALLO WITH CABBAGE (MEXICAN COLESLAW)



Pico de Gallo with Cabbage (Mexican Coleslaw) image

It took a while to get this perfected so it tastes just like our favorite Mexican restaurant. This is a great change up to the ordinary chips and salsa. It goes great with chips or as a quesadilla topping. It's different from your typical Mexican fare, but it is fantastic. This is a pretty forgiving recipe and you can adjust ingredients to your liking. You can add more cilantro, onion or jalapeno depending on your tastes. You can eat this right away but it is best after you have given the flavors an hour or two to blend. For those that don't like it too hot, La Costena® brand makes a great pickled jalapeno that has lots of flavor and not too much heat.
