Pico de gallo
10 minutes
Pico de gallo also known as salsa Mexicana, is a great garnishing for tacos, burritos, tamales, salads, quesadillas, steaks, or basically any dish (even just to eat it with tortilla chips while watching TV). Try to have it ready before starting to cook the rest of your dishes — it will be perfect when serving!

Notes

Try different types of chiles to find the suitable ones for you, also try different amounts of chiles when preparing pico de gallo to find the right level of spiciness.
