Fresh Homemade Pico De Gallo

Nothing is better than fresh homemade pico. 

It is so versatile and delicious and guaranteed to put a smile on your face. 

Ingredients;

- Tomatoes

- Red Onion

- Cilantro 

- Lime Juice

- Salt & Pepper

 

I chopped up half an onion, half of a tomato, a few sprigs of cilantro and half of a lime worth of juice.

Throw it in a bowl add salt and pepper to taste and give it a good stir. 

Use pico on tacos, salads, quesadillas, burritos or eat it with chips!

Delicious!

*I recommend using pico de gallo within 4-5 hours*

Homemade Taco Salad

I love taco salad. 

If it is on the menu when we go out to a restaurant you bet I am ordering it. 

I knew there had to be a way to make a yummy taco salad at home that did not have the high price tag of a restaurant salad. 

 

Ingredients;

~ Taco Ground Beef

~ Romaine Lettuce

~ Iceberg Lettuce 

~ Pico De Gallo

~ Sour cream 

Other Reccomendations;

~ Cheese

~ Corn 

~ Blackbeans

~ Olives

~ Avocado 

 

What I did; 

Use tortillas and place in mold and pop into oven to make taco bowls. 

Cook ground beef and season with taco seasoning.

Cut up lettuces and combine in large bowl. 

Make pico de gallo. 

 

When shells are ready, place lettuce, beef, pico, and sour cream into bowl. 

Serve and enjoy! 

Easy, delicious, and healthy!

 

* I found my taco bowl molds in a 4 pack at our local dollar store. It is a 'seen on TV' product. I have also seen them at Walmart! *
