Recipe moved to the 'Card Catalog of Sauce Recipes' Thread.

I got this simple recipe from a friend when I asked how they made Pico de Gallo.

Ingredients
  • 1 white onion, diced
  • 3 Roma tomatoes, diced
  • ½ bunch cilantro (I pick off the leaves and chop them finely)
  • 1 serrano or ½ jalapeño chile, finely chopped (I used a whole jalapeño)
  • Juice of 2 limes
  • 1 teaspoon brown sugar
  • 2 teaspoon salt If you prefer a less salty pico de gallo, use 1 or 1½ teaspoon

Cooking Instructions

• Mix the salt, sugar and lime juice in a bowl until the sugar and salt is dissolved.
• Place the diced onion in the bowl and make sure it all gets into the juice mixture.
• Leave aside for a few minutes and allow the onions to cure. (I left them for 5 minutes)
• Add the diced tomatoes, chiles and chopped cilantro into the bowl and mix it all together.

Serve with corn chips or use as taco filling.
