Pico de Gallo

Ingredients:
5 plum (Roma) tomatoes (firm, not soft)
1/2 large or 1 small onion
3-5 jalapeno peppers
garlic
cilantro
lime juice
salt

Depending on the size of the veggies you may need to increase something or use less of another...

Slice jalapeno the long way about 4 or 5 times. Then chop into fine pieces. Place into a large mixing bowl.
Slice Roma tomatoes in half the long way.

Then slice the halves into smaller long sections.

Then chop the tomato the short way to dice the tomatoes.

Add tomatoes to the jalapenos.

Give them a quick stir.

Chop 1/2 an onion. I used a purple onion for a bit more flavor. Whatever you have on hand will do.
Add the onion to the tomato mixture and toss. Chop cilantro - tons of it, I used 1/2 of the grouping that I got at the store. Chop off the stems and just use the leaves. Add cilantro, garlic and 1/2 squeezed lime juice to tomato mixture and stir.

Add salt to taste. If you are a fan of Chipotle's "fresh tomato mixture" keep adding salt... eventually it will taste just like it!


Yum-o! Now go to my guacamole recipe and have a fiesta.
