"Chips and pico" is a popular appetizer featuring crispy tortilla chips served alongside pico de gallo salsa. The tortilla chips, typically seasoned with salt, provide a crunchy base for scooping up the fresh and tangy pico de gallo made from diced tomatoes, onions, jalapeños, cilantro, lime juice, and salt. This combination offers a contrast of textures and flavors, making it a favorite for gatherings, parties, or as a starter at Mexican restaurants.
