Pico de gallo (Spanish pronunciation: [ˈpiko ðe ˈgaʎo], lit. 'beak of rooster'), also called salsa fresca and salsa cruda, is a type of salsa commonly used in Mexican cuisine. It is traditionally made from chopped tomato, onion, serrano peppers (jalapeños or habaneros may be used as alternatives), with salt, lime juice, and cilantro. Pico de gallo can be used in much the same way as other. Cover the pico de gallo with a lid or reusable food wrap and refrigerate it for at least an hour.
Instructions to make Pico de Gallo:
- In a mixing bowl (or other some such large bowl - you want room to toss the ingredients together), combine all the ingredients except oil and gently fold until ingredients are thoroughly combined and evenly distributed. Adjust seasoning if needed before adding oil and giving a few more gentle folds.
- Enjoy! :)
This will mellow out the raw onion and garlic and give the flavors time to meld. Plus, it'll give you some time to throw dinner together. After it's rested in the fridge, give your pico de gallo another stir, grab some chips and. I bet Chipotle calls their pico de gallo "tomato salsa" since it's easier to say! You might also see it called salsa fresca (fresh sauce).
