Ingredients

• 4 medium Roma tomatoes
• 1 medium White onion
• 1 medium Jalapeño pepper
• 0.5 cup (chopped) Cilantro
• 2 tablespoons Fresh lime juice
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Rinse the Roma tomatoes, white onion, and jalapeño thoroughly under cold water.

Step 2

Dice the Roma tomatoes into small, uniform cubes and place them in a mixing bowl.

Step 3

Peel and finely dice the white onion. Add it to the bowl with the tomatoes.

Step 4

Slice the jalapeño pepper in half and remove the seeds and ribs for a milder salsa. Dice the jalapeño finely and add it to the bowl. If you prefer more spice, include some of the seeds.

Step 5

Rinse the cilantro and pat it dry with a paper towel. Finely chop the cilantro leaves (discarding the stems) and add to the tomato mixture.

Step 6

Squeeze fresh lime juice into the bowl and add the salt and black pepper.

Step 7

Mix all the ingredients gently but thoroughly to combine, ensuring the lime juice and seasoning are evenly distributed.

Step 8

Let the Pico de Gallo rest for 10 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.

Step 9

Serve immediately with tortilla chips, or as a fresh topping for tacos, grilled meats, or any Mexican-inspired dish.
