Equipment
- Cutting board
- Sharp knife
- Mixing Bowl
- Measuring spoons
- Citrus juicer (optional)
- Spoon for stirring
Ingredients
- 4 ripe tomatoes
- 1 small onion
- 1-2 jalapeño peppers
- 1 cup fresh cilantro
- 2 tablespoons fresh lime juice
- Salt to taste
Instructions
- Prepare the Tomatoes and Onion: Start by thoroughly washing the tomatoes. Then, dice them into small cubes. For the onion, peel it and chop it finely to add a nice crunch and sweetness to the mix. If you like a bit of heat, slice your jalapeño peppers (remove the seeds for a milder flavor).
- Chop the Cilantro: Next, wash the cilantro and roughly chop it. Cilantro is key to adding that refreshing herbal flavor that balances the other ingredients. Don't worry about being too precise with the chopping – rustic is just fine!
- Combine and Season: Place all your diced vegetables and cilantro into a large mixing bowl. Squeeze the juice of fresh limes over the mixture. Start with 2 tablespoons of lime juice, but feel free to add more to your taste. Season with salt to enhance the flavors.
- Mix Everything Together: Using a spoon, stir the mixture well to combine all the flavors. Taste your pico de gallo and adjust the salt and lime juice as needed. For a spicier flavor, add an extra jalapeño or a dash of hot sauce.
- Serve and Enjoy: Once your Taco Bell pico de gallo is perfectly mixed and seasoned, it's ready to serve! Spoon it over your favorite tacos, burritos, nachos, or even grilled meats. You can also serve it as a refreshing dip with tortilla chips. It's versatile and adds a burst of fresh flavor to any dish.
