LET’S MAKE PICO DE GALLO: A FUN FAMILY ACTIVITY!

Welcome to our blog from your favorite authentic Mexican restaurant in Philadelphia! Today, we’re diving into a beloved classic: Pico de Gallo. Not only is this salsa delicious and versatile, but making it together as a family can be a fantastic bonding experience. So, grab your aprons and let’s get started!

What You’ll Need:

  • Ingredients:

    • 4 medium ripe tomatoes, diced

    • 1 small red onion, finely chopped

    • 1 jalapeño pepper, seeded and minced (adjust to taste)

    • 1/2 cup fresh cilantro, chopped

    • 1-2 cloves garlic, minced

    • Juice of 1-2 limes

    • Salt and pepper to taste

  • Equipment:

    • Cutting board and knife (for the adults)

    • Mixing bowl

    • Spoon for mixing

Let’s Cook Together:

  1. Prepare the Ingredients: Assign tasks based on age-appropriateness. Adults can handle chopping while kids can help with squeezing lime juice or stirring.

  2. Chop, Chop, Chop: Start by dicing the tomatoes into small pieces. Make sure they are ripe for that juicy goodness!

  3. Onion Power: Finely chop the red onion. This adds a little crunch and zing to your pico de gallo.

  4. Spice it Up: If your family loves a little kick, mince the jalapeño (with the seeds removed). Remember, you can always add more later if you want it spicier!

  5. Cilantro Magic: Get that fresh cilantro and chop it finely. This herb adds a burst of flavor and freshness.

  6. Mix it All Together: Combine the tomatoes, red onion, jalapeño, and cilantro in a mixing bowl. Add minced garlic for extra flavor.

  7. Lime Love: Squeeze the juice of 1-2 limes into the bowl. This not only adds a tangy twist but also helps meld all the flavors together.

  8. Season to Perfection: Sprinkle some salt and pepper to taste. Remember, you can always add more, but you can’t take it out, so go easy!

Let it Sit: Allow your pico de gallo to sit for about 15-30 minutes before serving. This helps the flavors meld together beautifully.

Enjoy Your Creation:

Now comes the best part—tasting your homemade pico de gallo! Grab some tortilla chips or use it as a topping for tacos, nachos, or even grilled meats. The possibilities are endless!

Why Make Pico de Gallo Together?
