Notes

Roma tomatoes are meatier and less watery which is why it's perfect for pico de gallo. If you can't find one due to our current situation, feel free to use any kind of fresh tomatoes you have on hand and just seed and dice them finely.
Make sure to use gloves when seeding and chopping the jalapenos. Poblano peppers also work fine for this recipe. Adjust based on your heat tolerance.
