1 small onion
2-3 medium tomatoes, peeled, seeded and chopped ()
1-3 jalapeno peppers
1-2 T chopped cilantro
1-2 T olive oil
Salt to taste
Combine all the ingredients. This is best used fresh. Serve with grilled fish or as a dip for tortilla chips.
Variations – Add any or all of the following:
diced avocados
1 tbsp lime juice
1 habanera
1/2 cans whole kernel corn
1/2 can black beans
2 medium avocados, peelled and pitted
juice of 1/2 lime
1 medium tomato, peeled, seeded and chopped
1 small onion, chopped
1 garlic clove, minced
1-2 T cilantro
1-2 jalapeno peppers, seeded and chopped finely
1/4 tsp ground cumin
Salt to taste
Mash avocados with a fork, Add the lime juice. Stir in remaining ingredients. Jalapenos add a bit at a time – 2 will be fairly hot – so add until spicy enough for your taste.Â
If you have made Pico de Gallo, you can just add a some to the mashed avocados with lime and save a few steps.
Cover with plastic wrap, so avocados will not discolor.
Serve with chips and tacos.
