Ingredients

  • lbs plum tomatoes cored, seeded, diced
  • ¾ cup white onion finely chopped
  • ½ cup cilantro leaves fresh, chopped
  • 1 tbsp lime juice fresh
  • 2 tbsp chilis (Jalapeños or Serrano, about 2 medium) cored, seeded, minced
  • 1 tsp clove minced
  • ½ tsp koshering salt
  • 1 pinch cayenne pepper

Instructions

  • Combine all the ingredients in a bowl and stir well.
  • Cover and allow to rest at room temperature for 1 hour for the flavors to blend.

Notes

You can make this pico de gallo spicier by:
  • Using spicier chilis to replace (some of) the ones in the recipe, e.g. habaneros.
  • Sweating the chilis.
  • Letting the pico de gallo stand covered overnight in the refrigerator.
You can make it spicier yet by doing two of these or even all of them.
