ok, lol. hm....
i'm pure mexican. there are so many ways to make pico de gallo, but nothing beats, this.
buy jalapeños, look for the ones with the veins outside on the skin.
tomatoes, white onions, cilantro and limes. (not lemons) cut up, not too big of chunks, mix in a bowl, add lime juice, and salt to taste. yumm.. pass the chips. another recipe i use for yummy hot salsa is:
buy canned whole peeled tomatoes, i use hunts brand,
cilantro, jalapeños, (again with veins) but the jalapenos, you will have to boil them until they get a lighter shade of green and are soft. add the canned tomatoes, a tear of the cilantro bunch, the cooked jalapeños, salt, a dash of pepper, and a pinch or two of garlic powder. blend in a blender. oh but here's the thing, dont blend completely. push the pulse quite a few times. why? well because we dont want a runny salsa, we want a chunky salsa. use it as dip with plain tortilla chips. hope you likes!!
