Pico de gallo is a popular Mexican food that adds zesty flavor to any dish. The traditional recipe consists of tomatoes, onions, cilantro, jalapenos, and lime juice, with variations being made depending on region and personal preference.
While it can be eaten alone as a side dish or dip, it’s most often served as an accompaniment to tacos, burritos, and other Mexican dishes.
The best part about making your own pico de gallo is that you get to customize it according to your taste preferences!
In some parts of Mexico, this condiment may include other ingredients such as garlic or bell peppers. These ingredients can help enhance its flavor further.
Pico de gallo is often served alongside chips or spooned onto tacos or burritos. It’s also sometimes used as a topping for nachos or enchiladas instead of salsa or guacamole.
