When I make guacamole, I start with pico and mix in mashed avocado to get a thick, chunky consistency. I love the pineapple idea. I'm headed to the store in a few minutes to get fresh tomatoes, pineapple and peppers.
Oh good heavens!! I had jalapeños, and tomatoes in abundance from the garden, and a Meyer lemon tree, so I used what I had. It would be hard to measure since the jalapeños can vary in heat! Add a little salt, and when you scoop some pico de gallo out with a chip and you get a bead of sweat on your forehead, then it’s a perfect blend!! 💖
ArnieTex, I’ve been using your OG Pico recipe for about a year now. I love it! People love it when I take it to potlucks. I’ve made it so often, that I’ve learned to eyeball the amounts of ingredients. I have a potluck this Sunday, so I’m going to try out the pineapple pico. It looks so good. Thanks for sharing your recipes!
Mango instead of pineapple is the way, pina is good but man the mango is a better texture, but im from cali your from texas and people from texas have always been assholes to me for no reason so fuck your piña … for no reason
Hey Arnie, I've been making a really killer mango pico for a while now, and my family goes nuts for it. It's great on fish and shrimp tacos, really good with chips too. I highly recommend giving it a try.

Dice everything up, squeeze the lime juice over it, then hit it with some AP seasoning and hot honey. I usually take the flesh out of the tomatoes, totally optional, of course.
Thank you for sharing your pico de gallo recipes, Senior Arnie! I wish you could make and share a pico de gallo recipe for my mother because she cannot eat spicy pico de gallo and she cannot digest raw onions, even if it's marinated with fresh tomatoes. Do you think you could help me with that?
The problem with Pico de Gallo is the sorry tasteless tomatoes you get from the store. I've made it with home grown heirloom tomatoes and it makes a huge difference. If you don't like cilantro you can use Italian parsley. Not regular parsley but Italian.
I have the cilantro soap gene, but I can use a a little finely chopped cilantro in salsas, as long as I let them rest in the fridge for a while. Maybe it is the acid in the limes that neutralizes the chemical in cilantro that causes the soap taste for some of us.
As a side note.. Make sure you wash your hands before going to the bathroom after handling the jalapeño.. Embarrassingly enough, I’ve made that mistake more than once.. It’s an unpleasant experience to say the least..
The tan stripes on some fruits like peppers and tomatoes are micro fissures in the skin due to rapid expansion from water being pumped in from its parent plant. They mean the plant had a generous supply of water to grow the fruit.

So no salt in the pineapple one?
Bro.. Stop with the annoying music..
In my Pico I've added cucumbers and avocado. Put that over smoked pulled pork tacos. Simply amazing
Do you know there are very few people out there who know what size is 1/4 or 3/8,, Carpenters will spot it in a heart beat

I've had peach and mango but never pineapple, o I'm so going to try this! 😋
Mango in the pico is amazing. Thanks for the recipes.
Bro thats tio right there.
Red jalapenos are difficult to find where I live. I could however, use some fresno chilies, right?
OG here. First time viewer. I'm watching, writing down ingredients, salivating, backing up, smelling! I'm sold. Thank you!.

Arnie, do you make your own chips or source them from elsewhere? Can’t seem to find a decent store chip.
That red jalapeno put the " cough" on you I seent it😂

I prefer mango over pineapple, but either one is good for fish tacos.

Arnie what is the brand of the chips that u used? Or were they homemade tortilla chips?

If you don't like cilantro you can use Italian parsley.
Not regular parsley but Italian.
Arnie you need to look into making Harissa.
I just made two pints.
What about Epazote as a sub for cilantro?
Mango salsa is one of my favorites.
fan of cilantro!!
I have the cilantro soap gene, but I can use a a little finely chopped cilantro in salsas, as long as I let them rest in the fridge for a while. Maybe it is the acid in the limes that neutralizes the chemical in cilantro that causes the soap taste for some of us.
I love the juice too and do the same with the chips. My son says he could just drink it.
Can you do Cocktail de Camerones? One of my faves!

Arnie thank you for reminding me to enjoy making it instead of worrying about is it perfect .
The pineapple one looks amazing! Will have to try it! I bet mango and watermelon would go well in it too!
