Recipe Instructions:
-
Begin by gathering all the ingredients required for making Erin’s Pico de Gallo.
-
Wash and dice 1 1/2 tomatoes into small, uniform pieces. Place them in a medium-sized bowl.
-
Peel and finely chop 1/4 of a red onion. Add it to the bowl with the tomatoes.
-
Mince 1 clove of garlic and add it to the bowl.
-
Squeeze the juice of 2 lemons and 1 lime into the bowl. This will add a refreshing citrusy flavor to the pico de gallo.
-
Gently stir all the ingredients together until they are evenly combined. Take care not to mash the tomatoes too much; you want them to retain their shape and texture.
-
Once everything is mixed, cover the bowl and place it in the refrigerator to chill. Chilling allows the flavors to meld together, resulting in a more delicious pico de gallo.
-
Let the pico de gallo chill for at least 20 minutes before serving. This allows the flavors to develop fully and ensures that it’s nice and cold when served.
-
After chilling, give the pico de gallo a final stir, then serve it alongside your favorite Mexican dishes, such as tacos, burritos, or grilled meats.
-
Enjoy your homemade Erin’s Pico de Gallo with friends and family! It’s sure to be a hit at any gathering or mealtime spread.
-
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2-3 days. Though, it’s so delicious, it’s unlikely there will be much left!

- For extra heat, you can add a finely chopped jalapeno or serrano pepper to the pico de gallo.
