Pico De Gallo, It's Not Just For Chips!

When people think of pico de gallo, usually they are thinking of something they have with chips at some Mexican restaurant. It's actually a little more versatile than that. Instead of mayo on the burger or herb butter on the steak try some pico de gallo. It's full flavor can along side just about any beef.
Taste great with grilled chicken too.

Ingredients:

4 Roma tomatoes
1/4c Red or yellow onions chopped
2 Garlic Cloves chopped
2 Jalapenos seeds removed chopped
1 Palm full of cilantro chopped
1/2 of a lemon juiced
1t cumin
salt/pepper to taste

Directions:
Combine all ingredients and serve!


This is what topped my grilled chicken today
You can take this same recipe and with a little modification, you know have, wait for it....
CORN/BLACK BEAN SALSA! Ta Da!
From the recipe above take away 2 tomatoes and 1 jalapeno. Then add one can of black beans drained and rinsed and one corn. I found grilled corn taste best.  Second choice would be cooked on the stove.
And if you use canned corn I don't wanna know about it!
