How to Make Fresh Mexican Tomato Salsa Pico De Gallo

  1. Finely chop 4 ripe Roma tomatoes, 1/2 red onion, 1 jalapeño pepper (seeded and minced for less heat, or unseeded for more!), and 1/2 cup of fresh cilantro.
  2. In a medium-sized non-metallic bowl, combine the chopped tomatoes, red onion, jalapeño, and cilantro.
  3. Add 2 tablespoons of lime juice, 1 teaspoon of ground cumin, 1/2 teaspoon of salt, and 1/4 teaspoon of black pepper. Gently stir to combine.
  4. Taste and adjust seasonings to your preference. Add more lime juice for extra zing, or more jalapeño for extra heat!
  5. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes (or longer, for even better flavor!) before serving. Serve alongside your favorite tortilla chips (recipe #369631 recommended!)
  6. Enjoy this fresh and flavorful salsa with your favorite Mexican dishes or as a topping for eggs, tacos, or burritos.
