Pico De Gallo

Ingredients:

  • 7-8 Roma Tomatoes
  • 1/2 a sweet onion

  • Once your onion is chopped, place in a medium sized bowl.

2. Next, we are going to dice our tomatoes. (My husband showed me how to chop a roma tomato!!)

  • First cut the top off the tomato and place it top down on your cutting board. Then cut it into quarters (in half then in half again).

  • Hold the top of one of the pieces and cut out the insides. (set the insides in your food processor).

Pico3

  • Repeat with each section of tomato.

Pico4

  • Now we are going to dice our tomatoes into little squares. Cut each quarter lengthwise first.

  • And then dice them the other way.

3.(optional) Remember the insides that your set aside? If you want your pico to be a little juicy place them in your food processor and chop them up. If you want your pico to be chunky you can skip this step.

  • Then add them to your bowl. (rinse out your food processer bowl and wipe with a paper towel before the next step).

4. Next, throw your cilantro into the food processer (make sure you dried it out after the above steps or the cilantro will stick to the sides and not chop as well). Chop up the cilantro and add to your bowl.
