Once I figured out how to make my own Pico de Gallo, I was hooked! I’m not a huge cilantro fan, so by making it myself, I can control the ingredients and make it just the way I like it.
This is my super simple recipe for Pico de Gallo. Even my non-tomato, non-onion, non-pepper eating husband enjoys it on his Mexican food such as Chicken Enchiladas and Chicken Fajita Salad!
It’s also half of my Easy Homemade Guacamole recipe. 😉
