Notes
You can serve the pico right away, but letting it sit for at least 10-15 minutes will allow the flavors to mingle and
Use a slotted spoon to serve your pico when using it as a topping on things like crispy taquitos or nachos. This will help drain excess liquid, making it less likely that your dish will get soggy.
