00:00 Homemade pico de gallo is fresher, more flavorful,
00:03 more colorful, crunchier, cheaper,
00:06 so why wouldn't you make it yourself?
00:07 Use this recipe, let's do it.
00:09 So let's start with the tomatoes.
00:10 I like using Roma because they're less seedy,
00:13 so you're not gonna deal with all that juice as much.
00:16 Then you gotta have some peppers.
00:18 I'm just using jalapeno, the recipe calls for a half,
00:20 but this is where you have to use your judgment.
00:22 I always use more jalapeno than it calls for.
00:25 You'll want to seed them before you dice them,
00:27 just so it's not overly spicy,
00:29 but if you like it hot, leave them in.
00:31 And then onion.
00:33 You can use red or white.
00:35 I like using the white because I think
00:37 it's the most traditional looking,
00:39 and I love the pungency of a white onion also.
00:41 And then I'm going in with a little bit of minced garlic.
00:44 I don't know if this is classic,
00:46 but I love the pungency it gives.
00:49 This recipe calls for a little garlic powder
00:50 and cumin as well.
00:51 And then, to me, you've gotta have some fresh lime juice.
00:54 This is what kinda makes those cheeks pucker.
00:58 I like a good pinch of salt, and not too much pepper.
01:01 Stir it up.
01:02 Almost forgot the most important ingredient.
01:05 Cilantro.
01:06 And I like lots of it.
01:08 Now we're talking.
01:11 Can't believe I almost forgot the cilantro.
01:14 It's my favorite part.
01:15 Taste test.
01:16 Let's serve it up, the classic way.
01:21 You knew that was coming.
01:25 A little pico de gallo screams party.
01:28 So fresh, so crunchy.
01:35 You can taste every single thing we put in there.
01:37 There is zero comparison to homemade versus store-bought.
01:42 Homemade is about a million times better.
01:44 So take those fresh tomatoes and fresh peppers
01:47 and whip up a batch of homemade pico de gallo.
01:50 Right now.
01:54 Homemade pico de gallo is gonna be fresher,
01:57 cheaper, crunchier, more colorful, more flavorful.
02:00 - Flavorful.
02:02 It's really so colorful.
