Zesty Stove-Top Pico de Gallo

Ingredients

- 1 can (14.5 oz) diced tomatoes, drained
- 1/2 cup finely chopped cilantro
- 1 medium onion, finely diced
- 1 jalapeno, seeded and minced
- 2 limes, juiced
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1/2 teaspoon salt

Instructions

1. Prepare the Base:
- Place a medium-sized saucepan on the stove over medium heat.
- Add the drained canned tomatoes to the pan, stirring occasionally to simmer and remove excess liquid (approximately for PT5M or 5 minutes).

2. Combine Fresh Ingredients:
- Once the tomatoes are heated through, add the finely diced onion and minced garlic to the pan, continuing to stir for PT3M (3 minutes) to soften the ingredients.

3. Incorporate Heat:
- Increase the flavor profile by adding the minced jalapeno to the mixture. Stir continuously for another PT2M (2 minutes) to evenly distribute the heat.

4. Season and Enhance:
- Add the ground cumin and salt, stirring to combine. Allow the flavors to meld for an additional PT3M (3 minutes).

5. Finish with Freshness:
- Remove the pan from the heat and stir in the freshly chopped cilantro and lime juice to brighten the dish.

6. Serve and Enjoy:
- Transfer the Pico de Gallo to a bowl and allow it to cool slightly. Serve this zesty snack with tortilla chips, or use it as a vibrant topping for various dishes.
