How to Make Chipotle Pico De Gallo

  1. Finely dice the red onion, tomatoes, cilantro, and jalapeño pepper. Remove the seeds from the jalapeño for less heat, if desired.
  2. In a medium bowl, combine the diced red onion (1/2 cup), diced tomatoes (2 cups), chopped cilantro (1/2 cup), and jalapeño (1-2, finely diced).
  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!
