Tomatoes 3 ways, part 2

This is one of Brenan's favorite things that I make. ever. We can literally eat an entire bowl in one sitting.

Pico de Gallo

5 tomatoes, seeded, diced
1 bell pepper, seeded, diced
1/4 - 1/2 (depending on size) white onion, diced
1 jalapeno seeded, de-veined, diced (if you like heat, keep in the seeds/veins)
Juice of 1/2 - 1 lime, depending on size, juiciness, and preference
2 Tablespoons salt  (sounds like a lot? Not really. It brings out all of the flavors and enhances everything magnificently)
1 teaspoon garlic powder
cilantro (optional, we don't use it...)

Chop everything, mix, and enjoy! I recommend adding the onions last so you don't cry. Also, add half of your salt and lime juice,  then do a taste test. It is always easier to add more, but if you overdo it you're stuck with a strong pico.
