1
Prepare the Vegetables
Wash the tomatoes, jalapeño, onion, and cilantro under cold running water. Pat them dry with a clean kitchen towel.
2
Dice the Tomatoes
Remove the stems from the tomatoes and cut them in half. Remove the seeds if desired for less moisture, then dice the tomatoes into small cubes and place them in a mixing bowl.
3
Chop the Jalapeño
Cut the jalapeño in half lengthwise and remove the seeds for less heat if desired. Finely chop the jalapeño and add it to the bowl with the tomatoes. Adjust the amount based on your heat preference.
4
Chop the Onion
Peel the onion, then finely chop it. Add the chopped onion to the mixing bowl.
5
Chop the Cilantro
Remove the leaves from the cilantro stems and finely chop them. Add the cilantro to the bowl.

6
Combine Ingredients
Gently mix the diced tomatoes, jalapeño, chopped onion, and cilantro in the bowl until well combined.
7
Add Lime Juice and Season
Pour the lime juice over the mixture, then sprinkle with salt and black pepper. Stir well to incorporate all the flavors.
8
Taste and Adjust
Taste the Pico de Gallo and adjust the seasoning if needed, adding more salt, lime juice, or jalapeño to suit your taste.
