Ingredients
  

For the Pico de Gallo

  • 2 cups Plum Tomatoes Rinsed and chopped.
  • 1-2 pieces Jalapeños Seeded and finely chopped.
  • 1/2 pieces White Onion Chopped.
  • 1/2 cup Fresh Cilantro Finely chopped.
  • 1 pieces Lime Juiced.
  • 1/2 teaspoon Kosher Salt To taste.

Instructions
 

Preparation

  • Wash the vegetables, rinse the plum tomatoes, and pat them dry.
  • Chop the tomatoes into small, bite-sized pieces and place in a large mixing bowl.
  • Seed and finely chop the jalapeños and add them to the bowl.
  • Chop the white onion and add it to the mixing bowl.
  • Finely chop the cilantro and mix it into the ingredients.
  • Juice the lime over the mixture.
  • Add kosher salt and mix to combine all ingredients.

Cooking

  • Heat a medium pot over medium heat, then add the tomato mixture from the prep phase.
  • Stir occasionally, letting it simmer for about 15 minutes until softened.
  • Keep the dish from sticking by adding a splash of water if necessary.
  • Taste and adjust seasoning as needed.

Serving

  • Remove from heat once the desired consistency is reached.
  • Serve warm in bowls, garnished with fresh cilantro leaves and lime wedges.
  • Pair with your favorite protein source like grilled chicken or beans.

Notes

For a milder version, use just one jalapeño. Leftovers store well in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.
