Pico

I love mexican food. Who doesn't? The chips, the spices, the spicy tomatoes doing their happy little dance with the cilantro, onions, jalapenos and their friends garlic, and salt and pepper! *Sigh* At our house, having hispanic food twice a week isn't out of the norm. We change it up from time to time but tacos, fajitas, enchiladas, flautas...we do it all. Along side these fiestas there's always a dip but my favorite by far, and the most healthy of options, is my pico de gallo. It's a must have topping-you can't have the chips without the dip, the cupcake without the sprinkles, the ice cream with no cone, come on now....get to choppin' and have some already!
