Homemade Pico de Gallo
Pico de gallo is seriously so awesome on everything from tacos to chips, you just can’t go wrong with this amazing combination of fresh flavors! I made it to go on a batch of beer battered fish tacos I made during my Mexican food feast this weekend and it was so delicious! Pair it with a bit of homemade guacamole, they are awesome together!
Over the years, I have had so many great batches of pico de gallo but hadn’t ever made it myself before. It was surprising how easy it was to make and it will be a staple at my house now!
