Notes

  • Pico de gallo with Avocado is best consumed the same day it is made. If you have leftovers, store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
  • Quarter the ripe tomatoes and scoop out the seeds before dicing. They don't add any flavor!
  • Wear gloves while handling chilies. The last thing you want is to rub your eye with even a whisper of jalapeño juice on your hands.
  • Add other seasonings you love. A little touch of cumin or a shake of garlic powder is never gonna hurt!
  • Serve your avocado pico de gallo at room temperature. It just doesn't taste as developed cold.
