Important Tips and Tricks

- Finely Dice Ingredients: Ensure that the tomatoes, onions, and peppers are finely diced for a balanced texture and flavor in every bite.
- Let it Rest: Allow the Pico De Gallo to sit for at least 30 minutes before serving. This helps the flavors meld together and enhances the overall taste.
- Adjust Spice Levels: Modify the amount of jalapeño or hot peppers to suit your heat preference. Start with a small amount and taste as you go.
