That’s it! This is one of the first things I learned how to make. It really isn’t complicated at all, just chop the tomatoes, onion, jalapeño, and cilantro, add some lime juice, and season with salt and pepper. Done! It is great on its own with chips or you can [make it a meal](http:/http://dorastable.com/mexican-garbanzo-salad/) by adding chickpeas and avocado. **Pico De Gallo** **Total Tim**e:10 Min **Serves** 2 **Ingredients:** 4 ea.
