Mango & Hatch Pico De Gallo

Tangy, light, mild pico de gallo
Course: Appetizer
Cuisine: Mexican

Ingredients
  

  • 4 Hatch Chile
  • 1 Large Mango
  • 1/2 Large white onion
  • 1 Large tomato
  • 1 Juice of lime
  • 1 bunch Cilantro
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp Hatch Red Chile powder

Method
 

  1. The key to a good pico de gallo is consistency. Make sure everything is chopped the same size so each bite is the perfect bite. This also goes for the cilantro. Drives me nuts when I eat something that has cilantro in it and the stems aren't cut. I like to chop everything up first and then combine all the ingredients.
  2. Start by cutting up the fresh hatch chile into small cubes. Chop off the top stem and remove seeds. Leave seeds in if you're ok with a little bit of heat. Then add the chopped onion, chopped tomato and chopped mango.
  3. Combine all the ingredients into a large bowl and add the juice of one lemon and salt.
  4. Rough chop the cilantro and gently combine into the mango hatch mixture.

Notes

Cover and let sit for a few hours or overnight. You can definitely make this in advance. The longer you let the ingredients hang out with each other the more flavor and aroma you'll get. I also like to serve these with tradition tortilla chips or plantain chips.
