Happy Super Bowl Sunday everyone! I wasn't going to make any more posts here before switching over to my new format, but I decided to go ahead and post this recipe in honor of the big game! Pico and guacamole are two of my favorite foods...I can't go long without making them and I pretty much always have them on hand. Perfect game day food! Today I will be serving them with carne asada tacos.
Please make sure you use organic ingredients whenever possible. When in season, use only locally grown tomatoes. Store bought tomatoes are many times ripened using ethylene gas. If they are out of season, buy organic.
THE PLAYERS
(extra virgin olive oil, salt, pepper not pictured)
Pico de Gallo
4 medium tomatoes (seeded and diced)
1 large onion (diced)
1 jalapeno (diced)
1 small bunch cilantro (chopped)
Mix all ingredients into a bowl. It's that easy! If you like it spicy, do not seed the jalapeno. If you want it milder, remove seeds before chopping. Refrigerate.
Guacamole
2 large avocados
1/3 cup prepared pico de gallo
Juice from 1/2 lime
1 teaspoon extra virgin olive oil
salt and pepper to taste
Mash the avocados in a bowl, add remaining ingredients and mix well. Refrigerate.
Make these today! You will thank me later!
