Ingredients
- 4 medium ripe tomatoes diced
- 1 small red onion finely chopped
- 1 to 2 jalapeño peppers minced (adjust for heat preference)
- ¼ cup fresh cilantro chopped
- 1 to 2 tbsp fresh lime juice
- ½ tsp salt
- ¼ tsp black pepper
Instructions
- Wash all produce thoroughly. Dice tomatoes into small cubes, finely chop the red onion, and mince the jalapeños. Chop the cilantro and set aside.
- In a mixing bowl, add tomatoes, onions, jalapeños, and cilantro. Mix gently but thoroughly to combine evenly.
- Add lime juice, salt, and black pepper to the mixture. Stir gently to ensure all ingredients are coated and flavors meld together.
- Allow pico de gallo to rest at room temperature for 10–15 minutes before serving. This lets the flavors develop and the ingredients marinate slightly.
- Serve as a topping for tacos, grilled meats, or as a fresh dip with tortilla chips. Adjust seasoning as needed before serving.
