Chipotle Pico de Gallo
Description
This Chipotle Pico de Gallo recipe relies on ripe Roma tomatoes diced and deseeded for texture without excess moisture. Red onion adds a sharp crunch, while fresh jalapeño diced and deseeded contributes mild spiciness. Fresh cilantro brings herbal brightness complemented by fresh lime juice and salt to finish.
The ingredients are combined and tossed to blend flavors, then refrigerated for at least 15 minutes allowing the salsa to develop a more cohesive taste and slightly soften the raw onion and chili edges.
The salsa pairs well chilled with tortilla chips or as a fresh topping on Mexican dishes, tacos, or grilled meats. The acidity from lime and tomatoes balances the gentle heat of the jalapeño, making it versatile for casual snacking or meal enhancement.
Make-ahead preparation is possible, storing the salsa in the refrigerator up to 24 hours to deepen flavor. Leftovers should be kept in an airtight container and consumed within two days to avoid sogginess.
