Pico
Pico de gallo, also known as salsa fresca, is a traditional Mexican dish made from chopped tomatoes, onions, cilantro, and chili peppers. The name “pico de gallo” is Spanish for “beak of the rooster”, and is named for its traditionally chunky, chopped texture.
Pico de gallo is a staple of Mexican cuisine, and is often used as a condiment or topping for dishes such as tacos, enchiladas, burritos, and even scrambled eggs. It can also be eaten on its own as a simple snack with chips or tortillas.
The exact origins of pico de gallo are unknown, but it is believed to have originated in the Mexican state of Jalisco. The dish has been around for centuries, and was originally made with wild ingredients such as cactus, tomatillos, and chile de arbol peppers.
