Salsa / Pico

I made this salsa/pico to go with the shredded beef taquitos that I made the other night. I wanted to make some pico, but didn't want to hand chop the veggies.....so I made a salsa pico combo.

Salsa/Pico

Ingredients:

• 1/2 bunch cilantro
• 3 green onions, including green part
• juice of 1 lime
• 1 jalapeno pepper
• 3-4 tomatoes (I can't remember how many I used, start with 3 and add 4 depending on how you like it)
• 1 avocado
• 1/2 t garlic salt
• 1/2 t Lawry's seasoning salt
• 1/4 t ground cumin
• 1/4 t cayenne pepper

Directions: Add cilantro to a food processor and pulse until it is chopped fine. Add green onions, lime juice, and jalapeno, pulse until chopped. Add tomatoes, avocado and spices and pulse until tomatoes and avocado are desired consistency.

Pico

I know I have been slacking lately, and I think Amy really thought she would get more help from me then she has been getting. I hope to start being a little bit better about posting. It just means I have to actually think about dinner before I start throwing it together, and it also means that I won't be able to get away with Mac and Cheese for dinner everynight. I hope you enjoy this Pico as much as me and my family do. I don't really measure out anything just depends on how many people you are feeding, and personal taste. Personally if I were making it for myself I would do it with about a 3:1 ratio of avacados to tomatos.


Here is what you need:

Avacados
Tomatos
White Onion
Cilantro
Salt and Pepper

You just want to chop your onion and cilantro really fine, dice avacado and tomato, and salt and pepper to taste. When I made this the other night I used 2 tomatos, 2 avacados, probably about a 1/4 cup of onion and cilantro (maybe a little less). This is so yummy, everyone is sure to love it. Goes great with anything mexican, I love it just for a snack too.
