Ingredients

• 5 pieces Roma tomatoes
• 1 medium White onion
• 0.5 bunch Fresh cilantro
• 1 piece Jalapeño
• 2 tablespoons Fresh lime juice
• 0.5 teaspoons Salt
• 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper
• 1 clove Garlic (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Wash and thoroughly dry the Roma tomatoes, white onion, cilantro, and jalapeño.

Step 2

Dice the Roma tomatoes into small, even pieces and place them in a medium-sized bowl.

Step 3

Finely chop the white onion and add it to the bowl with the tomatoes.

Step 4

Remove the seeds and veins from the jalapeño for a milder salsa (or leave them if you prefer more heat). Finely dice the jalapeño and add it to the bowl.

Step 5

Chop the cilantro leaves (avoiding most of the stems) and incorporate them into the mixture.

Step 6

If using garlic, finely mince the clove and mix it in with the other ingredients.

Step 7

Squeeze fresh lime juice over the mixture. Start with 2 tablespoons, but you can add more to taste.

Step 8

Season the Pico de Gallo with 0.5 teaspoons of salt and 0.25 teaspoons of black pepper. Adjust seasoning according to your preference.

Step 9

Gently toss all the ingredients together to combine. Be careful not to overmix, as it may release too much water from the tomatoes.

Step 10

Allow the Pico de Gallo to rest for 5–10 minutes to let the flavors meld. Serve fresh with tortilla chips, tacos, or as a topping for your favorite dishes!
