Pico de Gallo to the rescue!

 
Came across a nice Pico de Gallo recipe on seriouseats.com  This staple mexican condiment is as suited for a first course as it is sitting atop a fajita or crispy taco.  We prefer to add a minced clove of fresh garlic because it needs it. This is a must have tool in the Tex-Mex toolkit. Chop a bunch and grab a bag of fresh tortilla chips!
