Time 5m

Number Of Ingredients 6

2 tomatoes
1/2 onion
1 jalapeno
15-20 sprigs cilantro
juice of 1 lime
1/4 teaspoon salt (plus more to taste)

Steps:

  • Give the tomatoes, jalapeno, and cilantro a good rinse. Peel the onion and de-stem the tomatoes and jalapeno. I usually twist off and discard the bottom, thicker portions of the cilantro stems, but keep the upper portion of the stems that hold the leaves together.
  • Finely chop the 2 tomatoes, 1/2 onion, and jalapeno into 1/4" sized chunks. Finely dice the cilantro. For a milder version you can start by using only 1/2 of the jalapeno and adding more incrementally if you want more heat.
  • Combine the tomato, onion, jalapeno and cilantro in a mixing bowl. Add a heaping 1/4 teaspoon of salt and the juice of a single lime. Mix together well and taste for seasoning. Add additional salt and lime if necessary (I added more salt to this batch).
  • Serve immediately or store in an airtight container in the fridge.

Time 5m

Number Of Ingredients 6

3 large tomatoes
1/3 cup cilantro/coriander leaves (, roughly chopped)
1/4 cup finely chopped white onion ((Note 1))
1 1/2 tbsp finely chopped jalapeño or serrano chilli ((adjust to taste))
1 - 2 tbsp lime juice ((adjust to taste))
1/2 tsp salt ((table salt) or 3/4 tsp kosher / sea salt flakes)

Steps:

  • Cut the tomatoes in half and use a teaspoon to scoop out the seeds and watery centre. Cut into 1cm / 1/3" dice.
  • Combine with remaining ingredients. Set aside for 5 to 20 minutes. Serve as a topping or side for things like tacos, burritos, enchiladas, quesadillas and any Mexican dish!

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.

Time 25m

Yield 10-12 serving(s)

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)
salt, to taste

Steps:

  • Mix the chopped Jalapeños, Tomatoes, Onions in a medium size bowl. Optional here also add the Avocado if you choose to use it.
  • Add the Lime juice and salt to taste.
  • Finally add the Cilantro last because since its a herb it will wilt faster and you don't want brown little leaves in your food.
