Introduction
- Pico de gallo, which can be literally translated as "beak of the rooster" is a Mexican condiment. It is an uncooked relish, made from tomatoes, onions, and peppers, seasoned with cilantro and lemon or lime juice. Some regions of Mexico also prepare a fruit salad they call pico de gallo; this page only discusses the tomato-based relish.
Step 1: About Pico de Gallo
- Pico de gallo is a Mexican relish, similar to a salsa. It is served with dishes such as fajitas or quesadillas, and can also accompany meat, chicken, or fish entrees. As Pico de gallo is more substantial than salsa, it works well served with chips as there is more solid than liquid to be scooped up.
Step 2: Pico de Gallo Tips
- Chop the tomatoes and onions the same size.
- Select firm, not overly ripe tomatoes, as you want them to hold their shape.
- Vary the type and amount of hot peppers you include in your pico de gallo to dial the heat up or down.
- Remove tomato seeds before preparing the pico de gallo.
