Variations: I'm really lazy so I leave out the onion & green chili. And I don't peel the tomato either.

Pico de Gallo

Ingredients:
4 tomatoes, seeded & finely chopped
1 white onion, finely chopped
1 bunch cilantro
2 cloves garlic
1 tsp lime juice
1 tsp salt
1 tsp pepper

Directions:
Add all ingredients together & serve fresh.

Variations: Again, add amounts to taste. And I don't have a garlic press so I just use garlic powder (1/4 tsp = 1 clove). It still tastes great!
