Fresh Pico de Gallo

I started making my Fresh Pico de Gallo a couple years ago specifically to go into my Vegetarian Taco Cups recipe. After buying a bad batch of pico de gallo from the deli section at the grocery store, I realized it would be just as easy to make it myself.

Pico de gallo is popular as a topping or accompaniment in Latin American cuisine. It’s comprised of raw tomatoes, red onions, peppers, and cilantro. I typically love it on tacos, enchiladas, burritos, and fajitas. It’s also unresistible as a dip for tortilla chips.

Try this, along with my Dairy Free Cashew Sour Cream for all your Mexican inspired dishes!
