HOW TO MAKE PICO DE GALLO

Sometimes when you eat authentic Mexican food, they give you this salsa stuff made with tomatoes, onions, and jalapenos. You can add a squeeze of lime juice to pico de gallo, but I prefer this basic recipe. Once you serve this with your Mexican dish such as tacos, you will want it with all your Mexican dishes!

SALSA BANDERA

This is how I make my salsa for our family "Carne Asada." Americans call it "Pico de Gallo." Pico de Gallo in México, is actually a fruit salad (all fresh), drizzled with fresh lime juice and powdered chile. Salsa Bandera (as in Mexican flag), is easy to make and very tasty!!
