This avocado pico de gallo recipe is a fresh salsa filled with everything you love about pico and guacamole in one bite. Sweet juicy tomatoes are combined with spicy jalapeno peppers and big hunks of avocado for a refreshing salsa. Serve this avocado salsa with tortilla chips or as a topping for grilled chicken tacos.
Toss the diced avocado in the lime juice to prevent browning. Cut the tomatoes, onion, and jalapenos into small, evenly sized chunks. Place them in a large bowl with the avocado and lime zest. Be sure to add all the tomato juice.
Finely chop the cilantro and add it to the bowl. Stir the ingredients together until they are well combined. Season to taste with salt. Add more jalapeno if not spicy enough.
Notes
Serve the mixture immediately, or store it in an airtight container in the refrigerator until you're ready to eat. For the best taste and freshness, consume within three days.
For a spicier pico de gallo substitute either serrano peppers or a single habanero pepper.
