Pico de Gallo
Report
For a truly authentic Mexican Pico de Gallo, hunt down dried Mexican oregano. It's the secret ingredient you taste, but can't identify, at restaurants and resorts south of the border.

Ingredients
- 1 pound tomatoes seeded and cut into ¼-inch pieces (see note 1)
- 1/4 cup red onion finely chopped
- 1/4 cup fresh cilantro finely chopped (see note 2)
- 3 Jalapeno peppers seeded, stemmed, and minced (see note 3)
- lime juice optional, to taste
- 1/8 teaspoon dried Mexican oregano (see note 4)
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper
- tortilla chips for serving
Instructions
- In a medium bowl, combine tomatoes, red onion, cilantro, jalapeno, lime juice (if using), and oregano. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
- Let stand at least 10 minutes at room temperature to blend flavors. Serve with tortilla chips.
Notes
- Tomatoes: This salsa tastes best when made with fresh, ripe tomatoes. Do not substitute canned tomatoes.
- Cilantro: If you hate cilantro, leave it out.
- Jalapeños: For a spicier salsa, substitute serrano chiles. For the mildest salsa, substitute green bell peppers.
- Mexican oregano: Italian oregano is not a substitute here, so if you can’t find Mexican oregano, just omit it.
- Yield: The recipes makes about 3 cups of salsa, enough for 6 servings, 1/2 cup each.
- Storage: Store leftovers covered in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
