First time making Pico de Gallo. Smells amazing. Really simple, but the chopping up tomatoes/onions/jalapenos takes a while. Also, it's a bit too spicy since I did 1.5x the jalapenos since it didn't look like there was enough initially. Gonna use this as a topping for some yummy fish tacos later. What do you guys think?

>> No.9406202

Looks fresh as fuck, wouldn't mind some myself. Have you ever considered a pinch of mint in there, or as garnish? Could tune it towards more of a Moroccan feel.

Pico de gallo shouldn't go on tacos or should go on grilled fish or chicken.

Looks good, but OP you should've cored the tomatoes because it looks watery.

>> No.9406243

>>9406238
I did core the tomatoes. All that liquid is from 2 whole limes. I'm letting it marinate in the lime juice because it supposedly mellows out the sharpness of the onions or something.

>> No.9406258

>>9406243
>2 whole limes
Why would you use 3 whole limes? I like limes, but using four limes is too much. Besides, who even has 5 limes ready anyway? Never have more than 7 in my house.

Looks a bit watery. Don't use the 'cores' of the tomatoes and it may look better. Would chip'n'dip, though

You don't need to "marinate" it, it's just going to make your 'gallo soggy and gross when you put it on your tacos. Drain that shit.

do you heavily salt/pepper it? any chili powder addition?

>> No.9407917

why chili powder when it already has jalapenos. Add something more tasty like turmeric and paprika

I made pico de gallo pretty often, then once I got a food processor ALL THE FUCKING TIME because it was like so beautiful. Instead of 20+ minutes of chopping, it took 5 minutes. Hen when my food processor broke, I just started buying it at the Hispanic market. There are like 8 Hispanic markets within a mile of me, but none of them make it exactly quite like I like it. Gives me a sad.

Long story short, get a food processor

>why chili powder when it already has jalapenos
Because there's more than one kind of chili pepper, anon. I like a combination of Jalapenos for flavor and Arbol for a sharp bite. Some people like to use ancho or chipotle for more of a smoky taste (though IMHO that doesn't match with Pico very well).

>>more tasty like turmeric
That would completely clash with mexican flavor anon.

>>and paprika
Didn't you just ask why someone would add pepper powder? And then you go and suggest adding pepper powder? Lol.

Switch out the red onion for sweet onion and add some garlic and green onions. I ate about two quarts yesterday with a bag of tortilla chips

Pico de gallo is amazing on tacos and feels much fresher than regular salsa.

What the hell are you doing with your pico de gallo because "feels" certainly has nothing to do with eating.

Love a good buko no pico de gallo.

Better to use a small spoon and scoop the insides of the tomatoes out so you're left with a better flesh to tomato liquid ratio. As always though make it how you like it. Who gives a shit.
