Pico de gallo

Niecy made tacos tonight, so I decided some fresh pico was in order!  I looked up a couple recipes online and then decided to wing it.

Ingredients:
  • 3 tomatoes
  • 1/3 onion
  • couple stems of cilantro
  • 1 jalapeno
  • 1 clove of garlic
  • dash of salt
I gutted the tomatoes (removed the seeds) then diced them and the onion; minced the garlic as fine as I could; chopped up the jalapeno; and chopped the cilantro.  I threw all the stuff into the blender and pulsed away.  Finally I tossed in a dash of salt, and poured it into a bowl.  

Time:  Roughly 15 minutes of prep to chop everything.

This worked well on the tacos, and alright as a salsa for chips.  I'd go a bit easier on the cilantro next time, and for my personal taste, toss in another pepper (or maybe two!).  Niecy doesn't like it too spicy, though.

Oh, we also made frozen margaritas.  Limeade, decent tequila, triple sec, and ice.  After cleaning the blender, of course :)

P.S. Omar A. Rodriguez-Lopez's Please Heat This Eventually is pretty much the best song ever to go with preparing this food.
