Afro's Amazing Pico De Gallo

By The Awesome Afro

 Ingredients-
6 tomatoes- thinly sliced and diced
1/2 thinly sliced and diced onion
1 head of cilantro (discard stems)
2-3 fresh limes squeezed (buy smooth, not bumpy skin, dont get any that brown spots on outside. Those indications reveal the lime is bitter)
lots of salt and pepper
1 jalapeno thinly sliced and diced  (or serrano, I just used half the serrano, its more spicy)

Directions-
1. Thinly slice and dice tomatoes & onion put in a bowl.
2. fold over the bunch of cilantro into each other, then start chopping in small pieces, put in a bowl
3. Add squeezed lime & salt and pepper to bowl. Taste the amount of lime, salt, and pepper. Add more now if you desire.
4. Add the jalapeno or serrano pepper
5. EAT IT and Go straight into Delicious Heaven

I was surprised there wasn't any garlic in it. I think i'll make two batches next time and put garlic in one batch see how it turns out.
After 24 hours the serrano pepper wasn't spicy anymore. Next time cut the whole serrano, but put half the serrano in the first day, then the 2nd day put the rest of the chopped serrano in.
Afro said this recipe usually lasts her family of 4, for a whole week. 
But my family 6 devoured it so quickly it was gone in 3 days.
