Notes

  1. The best way to cut a jalapeño is to think of it like a rectangle and cut off four sides. This will eliminate the ribs and the seeds where most of the heat is. Then cut each of the four sides into small slices and dice those fine.
  2. To store your cilantro between coming home from the grocery store and making your pico, trim the ends off the bottom, remove any leaves that are towards the bottom of the stems, and place them in a drinking glass with 2 inches of water. Cover with the bag from the grocery store and store in the refrigerator.
