Salsa Bandera (Pico De Gallo)

Ingredients

Servings
  • 2 jalapeño peppers medium size
  • 2 tomato medium
  • ¼ white onion
  • 2 tablespoon cilantro chopped
  • 2-3 tablespoon white distilled vinegar or ½ lime
  • ½ teaspoon kosher salt plus more to taste

Instructions

  1. Medium dice the jalapeños, tomatoes and onion and add to a bowl. 
  2. Add the chopped cilantro.
  3. Add the vinegar.
  4. Mix all the ingredients together.
  5. Taste and add more salt or vinegar if needed.
  6. Serve immediately or let sit for 15-30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together for an even better taste.
  7. Serve as a salsa atop of tacos, salads or any cut of meat. It can also be served as a side dish or as a dip with chips.  

Notes

  • You can substitute the vinegar with lime juice. However, my mom taught me to use white vinegar instead of lime. Vinegar adds a tangy acidity that really brightens up the flavors of the salsa.
  • For extra spice, add one serrano pepper or substitute all the jalapeños with serranos.
  • For a mild salsa, use gloves to remove the seeds and veins from the jalapeños or use less jalapeños and more tomatoes.
