This goes really well with my vegan rotel dip recipe, which you see in the picture.
🔪 Instructions
Here's how to make pico step-by-step!
- Step 1: Mince the onions (try to get them pretty small, but still intact - we don't want to crush them). A sharp knife, like the santoku knife I use, is your best friend here! Add them to the bowl.
- Step 2: Quarter the cherry tomatoes. If they are really large, cut each one into more pieces. Add them to the bowl with the onion.
- Step 3: Cut limes in half and juice them straight into the bowl with a citrus juicer or your hands. Season with salt and black pepper.
- Step 4: Mince the fresh cilantro and add it to the bowl.
- Step 5: Deseed and mince jalapeño pepper. Wear gloves, if you'd like to prevent burning your skin.
- Step 6: Mix it thoroughly. Taste and adjust seasonings, as needed. Serve with chips!
For baked tortilla chips, see if you can find Tatemada chips. I can find them at Whole Foods and Central Market and they come in blue corn or yellow corn.
