I spend part of my time here in Mexico, this year i’m in Tulum Mexico over on the Riviera Maya coast in the State of Quintana Roo. The town of Tulum is just off the Caribbean by a mile or so. Were about 25 miles south from Playa del Carmen. The water here is the best I’ve ever seen anywhere. If your looking to take a great vacation put this place on your list for sure.

I love Mexican food always have. Most of us grew up on chips and salsa maybe a little guccamole or nachos. Here’s the things you might actually like that can stuff but it ain’t salsa baby.

Real fresh pico de gallo is fast and easy to make and the taste is out of this world good. Here’s a quick recipe for making this tasty treat for yourself or friends.

Here’s what you need to make it, 6 fresh tomotoes,  1 bunch of cilantro, 1 large white onion, 1-2 limes, 1-2  peppers

1. Cut up your tomatoes into small peices

2. Dice up your onion

3. rough cut the cilantro

4. De-seed your pepper (unless your really like heat) fine cut this up pretty small. You might want to wear plastic gloves?

Mix everything up in a bowl and then squeeze the juice of 1 lime into it and add a little salt, stir and put into the frig for 30 minutes or just eat it right away with your favorite chips.

Now if you are feeling really ambitious cut up some fresh totortillas into strips or wedges and either bakes or fry.

This doesn’t take more than 5 minutes to make.
