Homemade Pico de Gallo
makes about 2 cups
2 organic tomatoes, chopped
1/2 red onion, diced
1/2 green/red pepper, chopped
1 serrano* pepper, seeds and ribs removed, and diced
1 clove garlic, diced
juice from one lime
1/4 - 1/2 C fresh cilantro, chopped
kosher salt
freshly ground black pepper
1. Combine the prepared vegetables in a medium-sized bowl.
2. Add the freshly-squeezed lime juice and stir to combine.
3. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
4. Serve with chips or as a condiment with tacos, tortillas, or burritos.
*Note: I bought serrano peppers thinking they were less hot than jalapeños; apparently they are actually significantly hotter. So, if you'd like less heat, use a jalapeño or other milder pepper.
