For a sweeter pico de gallo, add a pinch of sugar. If you don't have Roma tomatoes, you can substitute with another variety of ripe, flavorful tomato. To reduce the heat, remove the seeds and membranes from the jalapeño before mincing. For extra heat, leave them in! This pico de gallo is best served fresh, but it can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
