Pico de Gallo

Pico de Gallo is similar to a salsa, except it is chunkier and less like a sauce.  Literally translated "pico de gallo" means "rooster's beak"....I have no idea why it's named this, but I found it interesting, lol!  I serve Pico de Gallo at all sorts of parties and have even taken it for Thanksgiving!  Total crowd pleaser!

Ingredients:

- Roma Tomatoes (about 5)
- Onion (1 or 2, depending on size)
- Cilantro
- Lime juice (always buy 2!)
- 2 Jalapenos
- Salt

Directions:

1.  Chop up your Roma tomatoes into 4ths.  Scoop out the middle (seeds/juice) and discard.  Chop up the remaining tomato and toss in your bowl.

2.  Now, chop up your onion and your jalapeno.  De-seed and de-vein the jalapeno if you do not like spicy.

3.  Now take a handful of cilantro and give it a rough chop.  Toss that into your bowl as well.  Here is where I give it a stir to make sure I have enough of each ingredient.  Now squeeze in your lime juice.  Start with one lime, taste, then add more if necessary.  Sprinkle in a pinch or two of salt, taste again and refrigerate until you're ready to eat!

Here's the final product....

Serve with tortilla chips or as a condiment for tacos, burritos, nachos, or tostadas.  Enjoy!
