This copycat Chipotle Pico de Gallo salsa recipe will blow you away with it’s fresh flavor!

Copycat Chipotle Pico de Gallo Salsa | MomOnTimeout.com

On Father’s Day, my little sister brought over some ingredients to make what she called “Chipotle’s salsa”. I was of course intrigued and then later delighted when I tasted it.

Pico de gallo is such an amazing salsa because you don’t daintily dip your chip. No, you scoop that salsa and enjoy a delicious mouthful of tantalizing fresh flavors that makes you dive right back into the bowl. It takes all of 5 minutes to pull together and you can serve immediately or let is sit in the fridge for a couple hours – very flexible. The recipe calls for Roma tomatoes but use what you have on hand.

    Does anybody know how Chipotle cuts their tomatoes … or an easy way to get those perfect little diced tomatoes other than cutting by hand?

    That looks tasty! I love some fresh salsa, but like a little extra spice with mine. I always throw in at least one of my home grown habaneros.
