Ingredients
- 6 whole Roma tomatoes
- 0.5 whole Red onion
- 1 whole Jalapeño pepper
- 0.5 bunch Cilantro
- 1 whole Lime
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 1 clove Garlic (optional)
Directions
Step 1
Wash and dry all vegetables and herbs thoroughly.
Step 2
Dice the Roma tomatoes into small, even-sized pieces and place them into a medium-sized mixing bowl.
Step 3
Finely chop the red onion and add it to the bowl with the diced tomatoes.
Step 4
Remove the seeds and inner membranes from the jalapeño pepper for a milder flavor, or leave them in for extra heat. Finely dice the jalapeño and add it to the mixture.
Step 5
Chop the cilantro leaves (discarding most of the stems) and stir them into the bowl.
Step 6
Juice the lime directly over the mixture, ensuring the juice is evenly distributed.
Step 7
If using garlic, finely mince the clove and stir it into the mixture.
Step 8
Add the salt and stir everything together gently but thoroughly until well combined.
Step 9
Taste and adjust the seasoning, adding more salt or lime juice as desired.
Step 10
Let the pico de gallo sit for 10–15 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together, then serve fresh with tortilla chips, tacos, or your favorite dishes.
