Pico de Gallo (Authentic)

This is an authentic recipe for Pico de Gallo from "Truly Mexican", a fabulous cookbook filled with authentic Mexican recipes. Use this recipe as a base and adjust to your taste - more or less spiciness, and even add olive oil if you want! This makes enough for 8 tacos (as a topping).

Prep Time: 5 minutes

Total Time: 5 minutes

Servings: 2

Ingredients

3 large tomatoes

1/3 cup cilantro/coriander leaves (, roughly chopped)

1/4 cup finely chopped white onion ((Note 1))

1 1/2 tbsp finely chopped jalapeño or serrano chilli ((adjust to taste))

1 - 2 tbsp lime juice ((adjust to taste))

1/2 tsp salt ((table salt) or 3/4 tsp kosher / sea salt flakes)

Instructions

Step 1
Cut the tomatoes in half and use a teaspoon to scoop out the seeds and watery centre. Cut into 1cm / 1/3" dice.
Step 2
Combine with remaining ingredients. Set aside for 5 to 20 minutes. Serve as a topping or side for things like tacos, burritos, enchiladas, quesadillas and any Mexican dish!
Step 3
This can be made ahead up to 1 day. Leave out the lime juice and salt (otherwise the tomato juices will leech out), cover and refrigerate. Drain excess liquid, add lime juice and salt just before serving.
