Cooking Tip: If you like spicy food, use 2 jalapeños in the pico de gallo and also keep the seeds in the jalapenos. Also, homemade pico de gallo is easy to make and much tastier than canned.
Keep it Healthy: Any other vegetables on sale can be used like avocado, cucumber, scallions, or canned green chiles.
Tip: If you can’t find frozen onions and bell peppers, substitute with low-sodium canned or frozen corn.
