How to Make Pico de Gallo
Sometimes when you eat authentic Mexican food, they give you this salsa stuff made with tomatoes, onions, and jalapeños. You can add a squeeze of lime juice to pico de gallo, but I prefer this basic recipe. Once you serve this with your Mexican dish such as tacos, you will want it with all your Mexican dishes!
Homemade Albondigas Soup
This albondigas soup reminds me of when I was young, staying home from school. My grandmother would make this for me. It is so good and flavorful. It is great on a cold rainy day or any day you feel like it. You can substitute any of the veggies for ones you like better. My grandmother would also make Mexican rice and scoop some into my bowl to make it even better!
