Pico De Gallo Recipe

6 Roma tomatoes- diced small
1/2 Yellow onion- diced small
One bunch of cilantro diced small (about 1 cup)
Juice from 1 lemon
Salt to taste


I had 3 of the fajitas and it was 300 calories for 3 of them. (I almost forgot to take a picture of them. ๐Ÿคฃ๐Ÿคฃ)

Do you like Fajitas?

On a side note. Those carb counter flour tortillas are really good. They are soft and have a great taste to them.

  2. Many thanks for sharing your recipe Mary.

    For readers in the UK they may like to know that similar low carb tortilla wraps are available in UK supermarkets. A 'normal' wrap contains approx 53.5 grams of carbs per 100g whereas the lower carb wraps only 17.9g which is quite a difference!

    Have a good weekend.

    All the best Jan
