- Squeeze the juice of half a lime over the mixture. If desired, add the chipotle in adobo for an extra kick. Sprinkle in the salt and black pepper.
- Gently stir all the ingredients together until well mixed. Adjust seasoning to taste. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow flavors to meld.
- Serve and enjoy your fresh pico de gallo as a topping for tacos, as a dip for chips or as a refreshing side to your favorite dishes.
