Pico de Gallo Twists

Pico de Gallo is traditionally a Mexican topping for tacos or dip for tortilla chips. It’s really not that hard to make it. The basic way of making pico de gallo is combining chopped tomatoes, onions and chiles like jalapenos or serranos, a squirt of lime and seasoned with salt and pepper. Other variations include chopped cilantro.

If you don’t want to handle chiles but still want to have the spicy flavor, just sprinkle a few red pepper flakes on it.

Check out my pico de gallo twists after the fold…

Tropical Mango Salsa

One of the twists I do for pico de gallo is adding chopped ripe magoes and then calling it as “tropical mango salsa“.

Avocado Salsa on pan-fried tilapia

Another twist is adding chopped avocados instead of ripe mangoes. Any of these twists are great for grilled or pan-fried fish fillets like salmon, tuna, tilapia, etc.

I also like to share that I like pico de gallo as a topping for my over-medium eggs. Try it next time because you might actually like it. :)
