Easy Pico de Gallo works great in scrambled eggs, dirty guacamole, fried potatoes, and on a good ole corn tortilla chip. As is below it jalapeno hot. For medium heat top the jalapeno, cut in half long ways and scrape out rib and seeds on one side with a spoon. Wash with cool water. For medium low heat scrape both sides of the jalapeno and cold water wash. YJMV.

Hay yall! Don’t be afraid to adjust or substitute ingredients to your taste. These recipes didn’t come from a written measured recipe. They are made, noted, measured on the fly, then pumped up here when time permits and most importantly only if they tasted good.

If you don’t have any Texas Butter I guess we’ll overlook it if you use what’s in your pantry. Be sure to ask how something turned out or you have questions. Expect grammar errors, these are not checked much other than what my browser flags. Well, in general I can’t spell worth a crap. Thanks – Shawn
