  • Pico de Gallo is a chunky tomato salsa recipe that’s simple to make at home with fresh ingredients. It’s an authentic Mexican salsa that's delicious, addictive and has a spicy kick.
    Made from tomatoes, onion, cilantro, a spicy chile like jalapeño or serrano peppers, lime juice and salt, it's also known as salsa fresca (fresh sauce).
    Watch the video and learn not only how to make pico de gallo, but how to make three other delicious recipes which use pico de gallo as the base. And don't forget that I have TONS more Mexican recipes on my website that are perfect for Cinco de Mayo. Enjoy!

      This is similar to my mom's chunky salsa. We grew up having it at least once a day in a week. Mostly just the tomatoes and the onions, with out taking out the tomato seeds. If it is in season, she mix in the flesh of a "piko" mango, or just the mango shoot/tops/sprout.

    Finally someone got it right!
    I love this fresh salsa. You can also blend it and serve it with totopos (tortilla chips). My sister in law adds lime to her, but I have come to like it better without it. I personally prefer the color and flavor of red onion.
    This recipe is what we use to top Carnitas, along side pickled onions and pickled jalapeños. Can’t wait to make it creamy!

    We used to buy pico de gallo when we were climbing in Hueco Tanks outside El Paso (I did a few V7s). El Paso and Juarez are really one city. Bakeries on the south side are great. We were in Juarez many times to shop. My wife and mother in law are tall and blond, and people deferred to us in queue. We refused politely just taking our place in line. Nothing but good memories.
