Preparation
  1. In a medium bowl, combine the diced tomatoes, finely diced onion, chopped cilantro, and minced jalapeño.
  2. Pour in the fresh lime juice and stir all ingredients gently to combine them thoroughly, ensuring even distribution of flavors.
  3. Allow the pico de gallo to rest for at least 10-15 minutes for flavors to meld, then taste and adjust seasoning if necessary before serving.
