Pico de Gallo

Jump to Recipe

Being an Arizona girl means many things. 1- I'm always down for a margarita. 2 - anything below 80 degrees is considered cold. 3 - Pico de Gallo is a way of life.

I take my salsa very seriously. Similar to this restaurant style Chipotle Salsa, it needs to be fresh, perfectly spicy and topped with a splash of lime juice. These things are very important and seeing as how I call for fresh pico de gallo is 2387429834% of my recipes, it was high time I post my perfect pico!

So now you'll have the perfect topping for Enchiladas, Brown Rice Bowls, Avocado Toast and you can even toss it with some avocado and turn it into Guacamole Salsa! And you don't have to limit yourself to these, it goes great on whole roasted cauliflower too!!

    CONGRATULATIONS GABY AND THOMAS! Welcome to the world beautiful sweet Baby Poppy! I’m so excited for you all and having your patents there to help really is such a blessing!

  3. I love pico de gallo, especially on tacos and burritos. The New England winter is getting to me, but soon enough I'll be sitting on my back deck with my flip flops on and a margarita in my hand. Summer can't get here soon enough.

  4. I'm with you on all 3 accounts, and I'm a Texas girl! Pass me a marg and some chips for this amazing pico! 🙂

  5. I love this! Have you tried first charring your jalapeño on a grill/regular gas stove before slicing into salsa? Brings in so much flavor! Gonna whip this pico up ASAP.
