Receta Pico de Gallo
I’m pretty sure I’ve established here that
I love Tex-Mex and Mexican food. I love spicy, cheesy, guacamole covered
yumminess. I can’t help it.
Pico de Gallo is a
common Mexican fresh condiment much like salsa. Many people have their own
version and this one is mine. Chili peppers are common in Pico but I omit them
when I make Pico. I feel chili peppers (such as jalapeños) have their place
already in salsa and I prefer Pico to just be fresh and bright with no heat.
And because I love Mexican food and I use pico de gallo so
much, it gets its own post so I can refer back to it. Later I will share a
recipe where I use it. It’s a pretty great one too!
