    Yes I know it's seems like a lot but once gutted and diced it's really not as much, and of course since its time consuming to make, I like to make it in bulk to last a while..lol
    It keeps really good you can also freeze it if you'd like

    My pico is very similar. I don't use 20 tomatoes, I use about 4-6 depending on size. I use fresh garlic. A lot of jalapeños. And in addition to the white onion, I use a little green onion also. Yum. My mouth is watering. Absolutely addicted to this. Put it on grilled chicken!

    LOL, here in West Texas Pico De Gallo is equal parts tomato, onion and jalapeno, with lime and sometimes cilantro for seasoning. Despite being a gringa born and raised back east, I couldn't go a day without Pico de Gallo and Salsa Verde with tomatillos and green chile.
