Ingredients
 

  • 1 LB Tomatoes diced
  • ½ cup Red or White Onion diced
  • 2 Garlic Cloves minced
  • 1 Jalapeño seeded and minced
  • ½ cup Cilantro finely chopped
  • 1 Large Avocado
  • 1-2 Limes juiced
  • Kosher Salt to taste
  • Black Pepper to taste

Instructions

  • Dice the tomatoes, onion, garlic cloves, jalapeño, and cilantro. Add the chopped ingredients to a medium-sized bowl.
  • Squeeze in the lime juice and add a pinch of salt and black pepper.
  • Cube the avocado and carefully toss into the pico de gallo. Taste and adjust the following: lime juice, salt, and black pepper.
  • Enjoy as a topping or with tortilla chips!

Notes

If you're looking to reduce the amount of juice that pools at the bottom of pico, Roma tomatoes are a good choice for you. You can also remove the seeds. I don't do either. I love the pool of juice that settles at the bottom. It's full of flavor! Serve salsa with a slotted spoon to prevent your tacos or nachos from getting soggy.
 
Important Note: Not all salts are made equal and cannot be substituted 1:1. If you are substituting table salt for kosher salt, you will need to cut the amount called for in the recipe by at least half.
