This is a condiment served on Mexican dishes such as fajitas. The bright blend of flavors is just incredible and, before you know it, you'll be spooning this stuff over non-Mexican dishes such as fried chicken or pork roast. It will keep just fine for 3 or 4 days in the refrigerator. I got this recipe from an old church fundraiser cookbook (Reorganized LDS church in Independence, Missouri) that a beloved aunt sent me several years ago. I have never had better Pica de Gallo anywhere. (pronounced: Peek-uh day guy-O, according to my daughter who speaks some Spanish). I have a Mexican friend who also says it's pretty genuine and the best that he ever had too. This is much less tomato-ey than regular salsa. The time listed includes marinating time in the refrigerator. I hope others will enjoy this excellent Mexican condiment as much as my friends and family do. Ingredients:
1 fresh tomato, chopped |
2 jalapeno peppers, chopped |
1 lime, juice of |
2 tablespoons water |
1 medium onion, chopped |
1/2 cup cilantro, chopped |
1/4 teaspoon salt |
Directions:
1. Blend gently and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, allowing the flavors to infuse, before serving with Mexican dishes. |
