This classic Pico de Gallo is a fresh, vibrant salsa perfect for tacos, burrito bowls, or simply scooping up with tortilla chips! Made with just a few simple ingredients, it’s a must-have for any Mexican-inspired meal.
Instructions
- Chop & Combine – Add the diced tomatoes, red onion, jalapeño, and cilantro to a mixing bowl.
- Season & Mix – Stir in the lime juice, salt, and minced garlic (if using). Mix well to combine all the flavors.
- Let It Rest – For the best flavor, let the Pico de Gallo sit for 15-30 minutes before serving to allow the ingredients to meld together.
