Typically made in under 10 minutes, the basic pico de gallo consists of tomatoes, white onion, cilantro, serrano and jalapeño peppers, juice of Mexican lime, and salt. To prepare, the ingredients are diced and mixed together with lime juice and salt. However, variations of pico de gallo can be found throughout Mexico. For example, in the state of Jalisco jicama, oranges, serrano chile, and onion are first mixed, then seasoned with lime juice, chile piquín powder, salt, and pepper. There are almost no rules to what you can use, whether cactus fruit xoconostle, mango, watermelon, cucumber, papaya, or melon. Pico de gallo is not so much a dish in itself, as more a dressing or a side served with other dishes, such as quesadillas, guacamole, molletes, and salads.
