Mexican Take Out Pico De Gallo Food

As they make it in Mexico - served freshly made, it's so much better than the jarred stuff! Moderate the heat by adjusting the amount of jalapenos, and by all means, add more cilantro and an extra squeeze of lime. Mas delicioso!

Ok i learned to make this Pico de Gallo from my mother who learned it from her mother and it has been like that since the women in my family has been making it. This Pico de Gallo can can be as tangy as you want it to be if you want more lime add more if you want more spicyness add of course more jalapeños. Tips: Remove the seedsand veins of the peppers if you dont want it to be too spicy hot. Optoinal: Add Avocado to give the Pico de Gallo a blend between the spicy Jalapeños and the sweet Avocado. But be advised when you use Avocado you must eat it sooner since Avocado goes bad faster then the other ingredient, but the good news is that the acidic nature of the jalapeño keeps the avocado from spoiling so soon. Store in a sealable container in the fridge.

Almost a salad, this colorful, uncooked salsa is often found as a side on almost any Mexican restaurant platter. For that reason, it's what most people think of when you say 'salsa'. It's fresh, attractive, and worthy of the attention. From the Take-Out Menu Cookbook.

I spend 7 hours today serving this delicious salad at a fiesta fundraiser at my daughter's school here in California. Pico de Gallo is usually known as a type of salsa, but in this case, it is a popular fruit salad spiced with a red chili powder that is popular in Mexico. Sounds odd, but it's a delicious and addictive combination. You dice the fresh fruits into chunk size pieces and mix them together in any combination you like. Today, we combined watermelon, mango, pineapple, cucumber and jicama. I will list popular fruits and veggies that can go in it and you can customize your mix.

This is a condiment served on Mexican dishes such as fajitas. The bright blend of flavors is just incredible and, before you know it, you'll be spooning this stuff over non-Mexican dishes such as fried chicken or pork roast. It will keep just fine for 3 or 4 days in the refrigerator. I got this recipe from an old church fundraiser cookbook (Reorganized LDS church in Independence, Missouri) that a beloved aunt sent me several years ago. I have never had better Pica de Gallo anywhere. (pronounced: Peek-uh day guy-O, according to my daughter who speaks some Spanish). I have a Mexican friend who also says it's pretty genuine and the best that he ever had too. This is much less tomato-ey than regular salsa. The time listed includes marinating time in the refrigerator. I hope others will enjoy this excellent Mexican condiment as much as my friends and family do.
