Cup of Yum
Notes
- Makes 3-4 cups.
- Heat Factor: Mild-Medium. You'll get a bit of a kick from the jalapenos, depending on their variable heat value. You can really spice it up by incorporating serrano peppers or even spicier habanero peppers.
- I like to add minced garlic and a touch of cumin and black pepper to my pico de gallo as well. See the recipe video.
