Pico de Gallo

Oh, how I love the flavors and freshness of Pico de Gallo.  In fact, I prefer it to it’s liquidy cousin, salsa.  Not that I don’t like salsa… my family pretty much LOVES Mexican food and we could eat it everyday, in some form or another. 
I whipped up this batch of Pico over the weekend and it was gone in a flash.  I guess that’s what happens when you eat it for breakfast, lunch, and a snack!  Sadly, it never made it to dinner…  but boy, did we enjoy it! 
SO easy and SO very yummy!


Use firm roma tomatoes.  They have less juice. 
 

Discard the seeds.


Use a whole jalapeno and take out the seeds (or keep them in for more spice).  Dice up some onion and cilantro.  Add s&p.


Squeeze in some lime juice and give ‘er a taste.


Seriously, SO good-  it’s addicting.  I could eat it by the spoonful, without chips.  Wait, I did.


The first helping was gone right away.  The leftovers (in tupperware) were gone by the next afternoon. 
We enjoyed it with breakfast burritos, topped over grilled chicken, and lastly, scooped up with tortilla chips! 
It’s been said, “A day without Pico is like a day without sunshine.” 
Viva Pico!
