Chipotle Pico de Gallo

Chipotle chiles are smoked jalapeños—and they make a very tasty fresh salsa.

Recipe Ingredients:

1/4 cup fresh lime juice
2 teaspoons minced canned chipotle chiles in adobo sauce
4 cloves garlic, finely minced
2 cups chopped and seeded tomatoes
1 cup chopped onion
1/2 cup chopped fresh cilantro (leaves only)
Salt and freshly ground pepper to taste

Cooking Directions:

1. Combine fresh lime juice, chipotle chiles and minced garlic in large bowl.
2. Add chopped tomatoes, onion and fresh cilantro. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
3. Let pico de gallo stand 1 hour at room temperature to allow flavors to develop.

Makes about 3 cups.
