Tips:

  • Choose ripe tomatillos: Look for tomatillos that are firm and have a bright green color. Avoid tomatillos that are bruised or have brown spots.
  • Roast the tomatillos: Roasting the tomatillos brings out their natural sweetness and flavor. You can roast them in the oven or on a grill.
  • Use fresh ingredients: Fresh ingredients will give your pico de gallo the best flavor. If you can, use tomatoes, onions, and cilantro that are all in season.
  • Chop the ingredients finely: This will help the flavors to blend together better.
  • Add some spice: If you like spicy food, you can add some chopped jalapeño or serrano peppers to your pico de gallo.
  • Let the flavors meld: After you've made your pico de gallo, let it sit for at least 30 minutes before serving. This will allow the flavors to meld together.
