Ingredients
- 1/2 cup red onion finely diced
- 2 tablespoons lime juice juice of 1 lime
- 1½ cups tomato diced
- 1 cup of roasted corn kernels
- 1½ black beans
- 1 cup chopped cilantro
- 1 serrano pepper chopped as small as possible
- 1/2 teaspoon of sea salt
Avocado crema
- 1 avocado
- 1 garlic clove
- 2-3 tablespoons of lime juice
- sea salt
For serving
- romaine lettuce leaves washed and pat dried
- baked corn chips
Instructions
- In a large bowl, put the onion and lime juice for about 5 min.
- Add the tomato, corn, beans, cilantro, diced chile and salt. Mix, taste, and adjust if necessary. Set it aside.
- To make the avocado crema, put the avocado, garlic, lemon juice, and salt in a blender container. Add 2 or 3 tablespoons of water so that it blends smoothly. Blend for 3-5 minutes until creamy.
- If making romaine lettuce tacos. Simply put a tablespoon of pico de gallo on each lettuce leaf, a teaspoon of avocado cream, and a slice of chili serrano if you want an extra layer of spice.
- If serving with chips, just put everything in serving bowls and dip the corn chips.
Notes
- You can add the serrano pepper along with the other ingredients or put it on the side if not everybody likes the spice.
- You can also make avocado cream in a bowl by hand and without needing an electrical device. Crush the avocado with the back of a fork until it is entirely mushed and creamy. Add the minced garlic, lime juice, and salt.
- If you don't like the strong bite of raw onions, you can soak them in very cold water for a couple of minutes or squeeze a lime on top. These tips will remove the strong bite but leave the raw onion's crunchiness and freshness.
