What You’ll Need (Ingredient Highlights)

Avocados bring creaminess and richness.

Jalapeños give just the right kick of heat.

Cilantro brightens the salsa with fresh, herbal notes.

Pro Tips Before You Start

Choose ripe but firm avocados so they hold their shape.

Remove seeds from jalapeños for mild heat or keep them for extra spice.

Chill the mixture for 15 minutes before serving to let flavors meld.

Dice ingredients evenly for a balanced bite every time.

Season lightly at first, then adjust after mixing.

How to Make Pico de Gallo with Avocado

Step 1 – Prep the vegetables

Dice tomatoes, finely chop onion and jalapeños, and chop cilantro.

Step 2 – Mix the base

In a large mixing bowl, combine tomatoes, onion, jalapeños, and cilantro.

Step 3 – Add avocado

Gently fold in the diced avocado to keep its texture intact.

Step 4 – Season and finish

Squeeze lime juice over the mixture, season with salt and black pepper, and stir gently.

Step 5 – Serve or chill

Serve immediately as a dip, topping, or salad, or refrigerate for 15 minutes to enhance flavor.

What to Serve Them With

Spoon over tacos, burritos, or quesadillas.

Pair with tortilla chips for the ultimate dip.

Serve alongside grilled meats or seafood.

Top off grain bowls or salads for freshness.

Variations / Substitutions

Swap jalapeños for serrano peppers for more heat.

Use red onion instead of white for a milder bite.

Add diced mango or pineapple for a tropical twist.

Skip avocado if you prefer a traditional pico de gallo.

Storage & Leftovers

Best enjoyed fresh, but leftovers can be kept in the fridge for up to 1 day.

To slow avocado browning, press plastic wrap directly onto the surface.

Avoid freezing as the avocado and tomatoes won’t hold their texture.
