Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Chop the Vegetables

    Dice the tomatoes, onion, and jalapeño into small, uniform pieces. Ensure the seeds are removed from the jalapeño if you prefer less heat.

  2. 2

    Chop the Cilantro

    Finely chop the cilantro leaves, discarding the thicker stems. This will add freshness to your pico de gallo.

Mixing

  1. 3

    Combine Ingredients

    In a large mixing bowl, combine the diced tomatoes, onion, jalapeño, and cilantro.

  2. 4

    Add Seasonings

    Pour in the lime juice, and sprinkle salt and pepper over the top. Adjust the quantities to taste.

Finishing

  1. 5

    Toss Everything Together

    Using a spatula or spoon, gently toss all the ingredients together until well combined. Be careful not to mash the tomatoes.

  2. 6

    Taste and Adjust

    Taste your pico de gallo and adjust seasoning if necessary. Add more lime juice, salt, or pepper according to your preference.

  3. 7

    Serve

    Transfer the pico de gallo to a serving dish and enjoy it with tortilla chips, tacos, or as a topping for your favorite dishes.
