  3. Add the lime juice (1/4 cup), chipotle peppers in adobo sauce (2, minced), and salt (1 teaspoon) to the bowl.
  4. Gently toss all ingredients until well combined. Taste and adjust seasoning as needed (add more lime juice for acidity, salt for saltiness, or jalapeño for heat).
  5. Serve immediately for maximum freshness, or cover and refrigerate for up to 2 days to allow the flavors to meld.
  6. Enjoy your delicious homemade Chipotle Pico de Gallo!
