Homemade Pico De Gallo


This homemade Pico De Gallo is easy, it's fresh, it's flavorful, and it goes good with so many different things: chips, salads, burritos, tacos, etc.  Why spend close to $5 to buy a pint-size container of Pico at the store when you can make 4x as much at home for a fraction of the price?


Pico De Gallo

Ingredients
5 Roma tomatoes, seeded and finely diced
1/2 large onion (white or red)
1/4 - 1/2 jalapeno, seeded and finely diced
1/2 bunch cilantro, finely chopped
3 garlic cloves, minced
1/2 lime, juiced
salt and pepper to taste

Directions
In a large bowl add the diced tomatoes, onion, jalapeƱo, cilantro, and garlic.  Toss everything together.  Add the juice of 1/2 a lime and salt and pepper to taste.  Toss again to evenly coat.  Store covered in the refrigerator.  It tastes the best if you can let the flavors marry together for a few hours before eating, but no harm done if there's no time for that.  Serve with your favorite tortilla chips or on top of salads, burritos, tacos, etc.
