Ingredients
- 3 tomatoes, chopped
- 1/2 green bell pepper, chopped
- 1 red bell pepper, chopped
- 1/4 C red onion, chopped
- 1/4 C cilantro, chopped
- 2 T fresh garlic, minced
- salt and pepper
- pinch red pepper flakes
- 2 T fresh lime juice
- 1 avocado
- dash sugar
Preparation
Step 1
Now, let’s make some Pico!
***Note: This Pico De Gallo is best served as soon as you make it, or after it has had a chance to refrigerate for an hour or two. After that, it gets a little bit soupy and isn’t quite as good.***
1. Find some nice red tomatoes. (I used Roma, because they were on sale at the store). Take the core out, chop them up and toss them into a bowl.
2. Grab 1 green pepper and 1 red pepper.
Take out the core and chop them up. I only used half of the green pepper and all of the red pepper.
3. Slice and chop some red onion, I used 1/4 cup total. Add it to the bowl.
4. Finley chop up 1/4 cup fresh cilantro, and add it to the bowl.
5. Mince 2 tablespoons of garlic and toss it in the bowl.
6. Sqeeze half of a lime (about 2 tablespoons) over the top of the freshly chopped veggies.
Give everything a nice stir to combine. Add some salt and pepper to taste. If your tomatoes aren’t sweet enough, you may want to add just a dash of sugar to bring out the flavor.
7. Toss in a pinch of red pepper flakes. You’ll want to be careful here. If you don’t like any kind of spicy kick then leave the red pepper flakes out. A little pinch of these babies goes a long way.
8. Now, let’s add an avocado, shall we? Slice it in half with a sharp knife.
Then take each half and slice 4 long cuts into the flesh of the avocado, making sure not to cut through the peel.
Now cut the some slices along the width of the avocado, about every 1/4 inch.
This is going to give you some nice even chunks of avocado. Don’t they look lovely?
Cut along the inside of the peel and pop the avocado chunks out and place them in your bowl.
9. Stir everything together, dip a chip into it and give your fresh yummy salsa a taste. Add more salt, pepper and lime juice as needed.
Serve immediately or refrigerate for up to two hours, then serve. Tastes great either way.
Enjoy!

Wow.. that looks delicious! I just made your grilled chicken tacos last night for dinner… YUM! Since I didn’t have your recipe then :) I used a peach mango salsa.. hubby’s not a huge chicken fan and wasn’t sure about chicken tacos but once he had one bite he’s a believer and asked that be on the menu all summer long!
I’m not sure what I did wrong with your Fabulous French Bread Renewed.. I made that yesterday thinking it would be great for French Bread Pizza for a quick weekend meal (of course with your pizza sauce recipe I made as well) but the rolling part didn’t turn out as well as I hoped.. bread looks like golden rocks with rough edges poking out all over the place but it tastes great so that’s all that truly matters.. I can work on making it look perty! Thanks for more great recipes Jamie! I look forward to each new post!
