I love Mexican/Tex-Mex food .... it's definitely one of my favorite things! I enjoy Pico de Gallo (aka Salsa Fresca) with numerous dishes. It's great on tacos, burritos, fajitas, tostadas, scrambled eggs ... or just eat it with tortilla chips! Pico de Gallo is a fresh, uncooked salsa. There isn't the amount of liquid in a normal salsa. This version is not spicy, although you could add additional jalapenos or use serrano peppers for more heat.
Pico de Gallo
Yield: 1½ - 2 cups
1½ cups tomatoes, seeded and chopped
¼ cup chopped onion
1 jalapeno, seeded and chopped
3 cloves garlic, minced
Juice of 1 lime
2 tbsp. cilantro, chopped
Salt and pepper, to taste
Combine all the ingredients in a bowl. Serve with tortilla chips or your favorite Mexican foods.
Oh yummy, and perfect for tostadas! :D

ReplyDeleteHi Jamie, I love pico de gallo also. It's so easy and it can add great flavors to a plain grilled fillet of sole or simply grilled chicken breast. Wow, that sounds so good doesn't it? Now I'm hungry.
