I thought alcohol was a GOOD thing. It is often used with homeopathic

remedies.

Angie? Please explain.

Hey Jacquie,

My naturopathic dr says it is normally not a problem but with these

kids it is better to burn the alcohol out.

You should have no problem with leaving out the tequila. I lived in

Mexico for 6 years and I don't know of anyone would serve tequila in pico

de gallo for kids. It's not actually in the standard recipe either (altho

I have to say, I'd probably enjoy this version more.)

The standard version in Mexico is just chopped fresh tomatoes, onions,

chiles, cilantro and lime juice (some folks add garlic too). The " Pico "

or " bite " is referring to the spiciness, and the " Gallo " or " rooster "

refers to the bird on the Mexican tri-color flag--which has the same

colors as the dish (red, white and green). Throughout the patriotic month

of September people eat red, white and green dishes, and Pico de Gallo is

very popular then (as well as year round with many).

By the way Carol, I haven't tried out the recipe, but it looks like it

would taste very authentic.
