This bowl of Pico de Gallo is so dang good it’ll have you crowing like a rooster 🐔🗣️
Back in the day I used to make the pico for our family barbecues. My grandma used to tell me it was the best recipe she ever had. So good in fact, that there would have to be TWO whole bowls because I would eat an entire on myself 🤣
In this video I’m gonna share the authentic, restaurants style and homemade recipe we use for our favorite snack and condiment - PICO DE GALLO!
My personal pro tip here is to use SERRANOS instead of jalapeños to take the heat up a few notches. And the best part of this recipe is you can adjust all the ingredients to you personal preferences.
You can add more tomato, less onion, double the chile or omit the cilantro - whatever you and your friends and family like, it can be done easily in this delicious recipe.
Ingredients
9 Roma Tomatos
1/2 White Onion
3 Whole Serranos (or Jalapeños for less heat)
1 Head of Cilantro (chopped)
1 Large Lime
2 tsp Sea Salt
And your favorite bag of chips
Take the heat up even more using my SALSA VERDE recipe:
• TWO SALSAS You Always ...
Now let’s get to making PICO DE GALLO!
This man will unify the world one day
I literally came to UA-cam for this recipe and you sir delivered. The crow, the dance...I love it 😂😂😂
ME TOO!
Looks great! This north of the border(Canadian border) boy married a Rio Valley(Weslaco) girl and had to learn how to do fajitas and pico de gallo the right way. I make my pico de gallo just like yours, but I chop the peppers much finer as I am after all a northern boy! Authentic pico de gallo is hard to find up here and is always the hit of party, love watching your recipes!
If you can get the red Fresno peppers try some..super flavor and very mild..makes a great Vietnamese/Thai dipping sauce by grinding a red Fresno w garlic, sugar, add fish sauce, lime juice, I think water, super tasty..
I appreciate that you aren’t so strict with recipes, a lot of people will say you absolutely have to use cilantro and it has to be lime not lemon, but you always encourage people to make dishes however they like regardless of whether it stays true to the authentic recipe while still sharing the knowledge of what is authentic, that’s the mark of a true chef, someone who acknowledges that people have different tastes and that experimentation is what leads to new dishes.
I am from Yuma, Arizona and am living in Japan with my Japanese wife and our two sons. Nothing makes my wife happier than some carne asada/yaki niku and a bowl of pico! Happy to share my culture with friends and family out here! Amazing how good brings us all together, man 😂
Beautiful !
I am from the Imperial Valley and I agree buddy.
very wholesome
why only 2?
Yuma mentioned✅️💃💯🔥🔥🔥
my family can't get enough of this. every time i make it they argue who ate the most lmao. it's so tasty and pretty cheap.
That bird imitation was WILD
LEGENDARY
it was wicked!!!! i love it! 🦅
😂😂😂
I thought he was imitating a rooster 🐓 lol
🤣🤣😂😂😂😂 and hilarious
Exactly the way I make it. I've found that letting all ingredients sit in so much juice for more than a little while can change the flavor. So I let it marinade in the juice for a while and then I strain it and drink the juice :)
I thought I was the only one who did that? Also put the juice on some steak with the pico and it’s amazing
@@daianspahava8279 Best V8 ever :)
This is gonna be so good when the tomato growing weather gets warmer. I don't think I can wait that long, though.
Your pico d gallo recipe is our favorite.. no garlic.. I like that.. Just clean taste.. Lots of cilantro.. lots of limes... hahaaaa.. We use jalapeños.. working up to serranos.. Thank you so much... I am a hit ..😂
My family all agree that my food is best, but they can never tell why or say how so. Well, when I could, I watched my mom like a hawk when she cooked and that's it. I just do exactly as she did. Sadly, she passed away in 2007, but I think of her and my granny every time I'm in the kitchen ;)
AWE,, THAT IS SO SWEET!
I love pico de gallo and I too can eat the whole bowl by myself! It’s addictive you take 1 bite and then you just can’t stop , it’s just so darn good!!! I love watching Arnie make his pico and anything else he decides to make , he too is just so darn cute!!!
Grilled fajitas last night ,and salted my pico de gallo,, best ever! You taught this old dog a new trick! Thanks Artie! 👍
Blows my mind how these simple ingredients go together so well, flavour is insane….like that crow 🤣
Tia Julie of Calistoga Califas, always said eat a lot of chilis you will be healthy and she lived to 96! It also could have helped having a husband 30 years younger, it was such a beautiful marriage love you Tia! oh and even living in an apartment she still had planters on the porch to grow a bunch of varieties i still have the seeds and harvest every year keeping your memory alive Tia
I havent stopped making this weekly since watching u make it me and my pops love it it is a staple in my house now. Thank you very much.
about 20 years ago, i used to go to this wonderful Mexican fast food diner, they made the most awesome Pico De Gallo, and they would laugh at me because i would eat that stuff alone by the spoonfull, and were so nice and would always give me a monster sized cup of it to take home with me for free!! Such great memories, they are still there too! Thank you for showing me how to make it, however I have to stick to Jalapeno peppers ha ha
I love that stuff too
Give them some love please...Put their name and location out there. Ha
@@Joshua-om4qx Of course, they are Angelo's in ANAHEIM CA , they serve a bit of everything but Mexican is their main specialty!! I was there last July, and now I am wanting to go there again lol.
I used to live with my buddy Mike (Miguel) when I was down on my luck. He helped me out a lot. He showed me all the tips and tricks for making great Mexican food, and I absolutely love Pico. He does the salt thing, too, and it is a world of difference. Way better than so many you find in those big chain restaurants.
I love your happy dance lol. The leftover juice in the bottom with some olive oil and vinegar make a great salad dressing.
I just drank my juice out of the pico bowl😂
I've never tried jalapeños or cerrano peppers but i add 🧂 pepper and sugar 2mine and it's too yummy
You are so much fun to watch and learn from. When I was in the Air Force I was stationed at Laughlin AFB in Del Rio from 1975-1980. There was this really small Mexican restaurant there that might have had 5 tables in it before they expanded to maybe 8 tables. I think they had some of the best tasting Mexican food that I have ever had.
Brother, you have an awesomeness about you that is very relatable! I like the flow of the video, and how wholesome you and the missus are! I will most certainly give this a try and look forward to more videos! You're doing an awesome job! Keep up the great work!!
Love your enthusiasm for pico, brother! I too will eat a whole bowl of it. One of my most favorite things ever.
I love it. I just made a puco Pico de gallo and this randomly showed up. I grew up in california with a Sicilian family so Mexican food is everywhere. Pico de gallo is always a really wonder treat. Honest, down to earth food. Hard to beat!
These cooking shows take me back to when I was just a little girl. This food was such a big part of our culture. It was a time when family could get together and enjoy the most delicious meals while creating beautiful memories. I remember waking up every morning to the smell of homemade flour tortillas my mom and abuelita would be making. Thank you for sharing your wonderful recipes with us.❤️
I love pico de gallo as much as you do. Its nice to see that Im not the only one who will eat a whole bowl of it in one sitting hahahahaha
The energy you have is absolutely contagious
Pick de gallo and salsa are my two favorite snacks, well that and dill pickles lol.
Pico de Gallo is one of my favorites for tacos, nachos, steak, eggs, taquitos, and tortilla chips! Love this.
Love your sense of humor and your love of family. It comes across in your recipes!
Tried this for the first time today and I completely understand how you can eat a whole bowl because that’s exactly what I did. I’m going back to the grocery store tomorrow! I added purple onions with garlic powder and adobo. Amazing!
I'm born and raised in Brownsville, Texas. I'll forever be a "Valley Girl" 😊 even though I moved. Watching your videos takes me back home. Keep em' coming!
Mi abuelita taught me a very similar pico recipe way back in the day and it’s always a hit! Love to see how much joy this beautiful dish brings you 😁😁😁
I made this tonight for the second time because it's amazing! The first time, I made it just like this, and I used a mixture of serrano and jalapeño. I loved it, but my friend said that they would prefer in between a salsa and pico. This time, I did just that and I hit it with an emulsion blender lightly. I also only did serrano peppers this time, then I added more fresh chunky diced onion before serving and it was truly amazing! ❤ I love it both ways! ❤
I like to use red/purple onions in mine. Also I once worked in a Mexican restaurant and they taught me putting in the salt & pepper then drizzling the lime over top to melt those spices makes a huge impact on the flavor.
The purple onions add a nice pop of color!
Arnie always says, make it the way You like it. 🤷♂️👍🏻😋
It’s not a restaurant thing , that’s how it’s made everywhere
@@tomtheplummer7322 yes!
@@beerman9807 your lost my brother, hahahaha, it IS a restaurant thing here in the RGV and most pf south Texas and all up the Rio Grande river at least to El Paso, not sure where you live amigo. Tnx
I made pico di gallo first time following your foot steps. My friend loved it. Thank you for teaching a good stuff.
When used only as a dip for tortilla chips, my Hispanic stepmother would also add some diced avocado to the Pico de Gallo. But traditional Pico like Arnie makes it here, is how I make it as the perfect accompaniment to beef fajita-filled quesadillas.
Yeah, when we make it as a snack with tostadas, we also add avocado to it. Always delicious with or without though, lol.
Maybe even some cucumber if it’s laying around. It will give a light crunch to the pico de gallo
Funnily enough I was thinking that& I think I wld add some cucumber(not traditional but nice)
I made this pico a week ago, making it again tonight. My family loves it! Thanks for sharing
I made your salsa with your secret peppers in Adobo sauce, everyone loved it! Now I'm in charge of making the salsa. Thank you for sharing your great recipes
Your Granma is so proud of you. Carrying on the family traditions and showing the rest of us how to make these wonderful dishes. Thank you 😊😊
Yes! Finally someone who puts salt in their pico de gallo!
Can't wait to try this it looks amazing, Also really excited to sound like tetradactyl.
I found your video from Facebook. I’m glad I found you! My husband is Mexican & we absolutely love Mexican food. I really enjoyed watching your cooking videos!! Thanks for your tutorials. 😅 Have a blessed day!
I kept shaking my head YES all the way through your video. I've gotten in trouble too for eating all I had made. Yours is the perfect recipe for me. I enjoyed your presentation a lot.
Loved this video Arnie. Reminded me of back in the day when my mom would bribe my grandpa into making the pico de gallo for our gatherings. He was bribed with a six pack and was happy to dice all the ingredients.
Those were the good days when a six pak was all it took haha my Dad was easy to bribe too.
Makes my mouth water ❣️ thank you for the recipe 😋
This is exactly how I make my Pico, every once in a while I'll throw in some chunks of avocado. 👍😋
the vibes in this video are absolutely wonderful, i think i found a new favorite cooking channel 😎❤️
You significantly changed the way I cook my food now sir, thank you and I wish you much happiness and all that jazz, thanks again for sharing
Brother,, I’m so glad that I stumbled across your channel. You are so entertaining and well informative. I love your simplicity!! Keep up the good work!! 😊👍💯
Thanks primo. Love your video and vibes, from NY, Puerto Ricans love this pico also.
I just made it. It's in the fridge now. I used Jalapeño pepper. I used Celtic French Sea Salt. It has 84 minerals. Can't wait. Got 10 more minutes to wait. I know it's going to be good.
How was it?
Thank you for this delicious recipe for pico de gallo, but thank you also for being so upbeat and kind. We need more people like you in this world! I am trying out your recipe tonight. I think it will be a hit!
I followed your recipe and made the best delicious pico de gallo this weekend. My in-laws loved it. Thank you so much!
I love Mexican food so much and have been thinking of making my own pico de gallo to store a week at a time 😭😭 I can’t wait to try this! Thanks for sharing ❤️❤️❤️
Arnie love the simplicity for all your recipes. Also love the way you’re representing the valley keep doing great videos. I made the barbacoa especial last night for my coworkers for this morning and they loved it. It brought a little home(956) to Alabama. Thank you sir and the best of luck to you.
Hey Arnie, I made this yesterday just the way you made it. It is amazing. My wife asked to use 1 less pepper next time. She said it was to hot. I think it's perfect. Thanks for this.
i made your pico de gallo recipe yesterday for the super bowl and everyone who tried it loves it, including me!!!! it is so good and flavorful and thank you for providing such wonderful recipes!!!! my husband also cooked some molleja and oooo your tips help make it so delicious, thank you!!!!
You can also add avocado and it is delicious
"I think that rooster needs some vitamins"😄 I loved pico de gallo so much eating it on all the wonderful Mexican foods that I looked at it real good one day, tasted it real good then went to the market and bought ingredients. It took me about 2 tries to get it to perfection. I love your secret ingredient😉
Awesome. I like to add the lime zest also, which give the salsa extra zing. I also use white onion. I may be wrong, but it seems to stay snappier longer than yellow onion.
Excellent "beak of the rooster" recipe (7:22). From a guero who lived in Tucson and now lives in New England, I miss the Sonoran cuisine. Every summer I make a few gazpacho sopas and salsa fresca, if you can't find it make it.
This is my go to dish when we have folks over, or at football parties. Always requested and I’m glad to know that mine matches yours. Thanks for sharing.
I'm a whole bowl person too. Pico de Gallo is the reason for eating. I used to buy two large size drink containers of salsa from my favorite restaurant alonf with my take out dinner for my family and I would drink one whole container on the drive home! Love Pico de Gallo.
that's much like the pico my mom has made for ages.. nothing beats it imo. I like how it's not watery but you can chop up some serranos and the smaller green chilies and it makes it all soo good.
For 30 years I’ve been personally and professionally involved with internet technology and streaming audio and video. For the first time, I’m commenting on the same. This pico is outstanding!
Thank you so much.
Pico de Gallo is fantastic! I definitely put garlic in mine and I take the seeds out of the peppers, however I do like to use a combination of jalapeno and serrano and habanero peppers.
Love it. Thank u! Is there a healthy chip to go with such a healthy snack?
Love your patient , clear way u explain your recipes!👍🏽😊blessings
This was so relaxing and enjoyable to watch. The stories he tells while he prepares is sheer bliss
I'm a Texan living in South Carolina and just discovered your channel. I'm loving watching you make all the great food from home. ❤ Also, just made this Pico last night. Sooooo good!
Outstanding Recipe, this was better than most restaurants... The only change is I added my to a blender to slightly emulsify it (making it less chunky and a little more watery)...
I made this using your recipe today. Absolutely fantastic !! We have made pico before, but the tomato/onion ratio was always off. This was hands down super easy and so delicious ! Thanks for sharing !
I've been store buying this stuff for years, but you inspired me to make this last night and it was so good. My stomach almost exploded. Thank you!
It reminds me a bit of the classic Arabic salad. Just substitute the lime with lemon, the cilantro with mint and parsley, and add cucumbers.
I literally LOVE pico de gallo! It's great with a lot things in Mexican food! This is a great video! Your little bird imitation was very cute! Plus, you a quite a character-very fun to listen to!
You’re always so positive! I love it!
I chop/cut my onions under the vent fan (with the fan running) above my stove. Haven't had any issues with them since I started doing this.
Made this today… best one by far. Followed exactly what he said in the video except I used pink Himalayan salt and had to use the whole lemon because it wasn’t juicy enough. 10/10!
Thank you @gisselletosta
Arnie is my kind of guy. I can eat the whole bowl of salsa by myself too.😮
yeah, sounds like what happens when i make this....
I love the love you put into everything! Your family parties must be awesome!
Someone was grandma's favorite... 💞
Yes!!!!! I need this!!!😂
We love some pico de gallo. It’s one of our absolute favorites with chips… fast and delicious!
I'm a new viewer, love your videos and your recipes look so good! I love Mexican foods and you inspire me to make them more often! Thank you!
Man , you are killing me !! I LOVE THAT STUFF !! It is my families favorite treat every Sunday for dinner along with tacos. Our recipe is just like yours and come from my nephew- in-law who is a chef and your nationality. I could never learn Spanish but I sure can eat the food !! ❤❤😊😊
I am SOOO happy I found your channel! I love your videos and your recipes. Thank you!
I love this stuff! I really love the way you and mama work as a team, she’s so funny and cute just like you, my favorite is the tamale lesson
Thank you so much!!
💚❤️💚 I, totally, love pico de gallo which reminds me of the pebre, my mom used to make for empanadas chilenas! I, also, love pico de gallo with carnitas tacos! ❤️💚❤️
I use serrano peppers in my pico also! They have a nice citrus peppery heat that works perfect with lime. I like a pinch of salt, just a small amount of garlic and a dash of chili powder too. You are too right about eating pico de gallo at every meal. I could do it!
Love the rooster sounds! I made this with dinner and it was awesome! Many thanks for sharing from Adelaide, South Australia 🐨🦘
Watching you makes me so happy when im sad. And pico de gallo makes me happy
I just love your video’s! I love hearing your family stories also.
Thank you. 😁
This is the best PICO DE GALLO I have ever had!!! And you taught me how to make it. Thanks! 🙏😁🥰
Hey Arnie! Since watching your video I’ve made this pretty much every day! It’s so delicious and simple. Thanks so much! 🌶
I made it your way exactly...and im ashamed, not ashamed that i took complete credit for it. it was a hit for my family at my latest BBQ. no more buying premade Pico. thank you.
Hi Arnie, hola from Refugio. I just found your channel. We use pico on everything. Our morning eggs, our cheese enchiladas and our baked potatoes to name a few. It freshens up heavy foods. I make mine just like yours, but we like minced garlic added. When in a time crunch, HEB has a pretty decent pico that I've used, too.
Love your recipes! Have also purchased your OG salt blend and WOW bbq blend. They are fantastic!
That looks delicious! I make mine similar, but I add minced garlic. My mouth was watering watching you make that. Once you become the pico de gallo maker you learn a few tricks to make it your own. I love the process of dicing everything up. Then add your own special touches and enjoy.
Thank you very much for this recipe I've been looking for a good recipe and I'm going to try this I actually have started losing weight eating pico de gallo on a lot of stuff so I absolutely love it thank you
I do love cilantro and extra lime juice in my pinko de gallo I feel like gives much more of a bite and flavor 👍💞
This is an amazing recipe. Made it as a side dish and the family loved it. I would recommend this dish to anyone. Follow the recipe, it's something else.
For those of you who do not speak Spanish or come from a different country, he was imitating a rooster. Pico de gallo means "rooster's beak" in Spanish.
OMG I DIDN'T KNOW THAT!!! THANK U!! AND HERE my son's BFF is Mexican...lol He makes a yummy salsa w/avacado. He made us flautas and the salsa. We ate til we were sick...lol😅
