Categories     condiment

Time 40m

Yield 3 cups

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 1/2 pounds yellow or red tomatoes, seeded and chopped
1 small onion, chopped
1/2 cup chopped fresh cilantro leaves
3 tablespoons fresh lime juice
2 serrano chiles*, seeded and minced (See Cook's Note)
Pinch kosher salt and fresh ground black pepper

Steps:

  • Add all the ingredients to a medium bowl, and toss to combine. Cover and chill until ready to serve. This salsa can be made 4 hours ahead.

Tips:

  • Choose ripe tomatillos: Look for tomatillos that are firm, plump, and have a bright green color. Avoid tomatillos that are soft, bruised, or have brown spots.
  • Use fresh ingredients: The fresher the ingredients, the better your pico de gallo will taste. If possible, use freshly picked tomatoes, onions, cilantro, and jalapeños.
  • Dice the ingredients evenly: This will help to ensure that all of the flavors are evenly distributed throughout the pico de gallo.
  • Season to taste: Start with a small amount of salt and lime juice, and then add more to taste. Be careful not to over-season the pico de gallo, as this can overpower the other flavors.
  • Let the pico de gallo chill for at least 30 minutes before serving: This will allow the flavors to meld together and develop.

Conclusion:

Tomatillo pico de gallo is a refreshing, flavorful, and versatile condiment that can be used to add a pop of flavor to a variety of dishes. It is perfect for tacos, burritos, nachos, enchiladas, and quesadillas. It can also be used as a topping for grilled fish, chicken, or pork.
