Every time I try to make it it always turns out bland. I do omit the jalapeños so that’s probably why. I think it’s all about the tomatoes though. I got Romas but they were a little on the bitter side this time.

Tomatoes play a huge part, but I also find that you need to let it sit for a few hours in the fridge so all of the flavors you used can marry.

I also leave out the jalapenos. Do you use cilantro? I use celery, onion, cilantro and tomatoes.

I got Romas but they were a little on the bitter side this time. You need to add roasted capsicum( bell peppers for Americans...espcially the red) and just a hint of mild chilli peppers.

I was thinking about bell peppers, but worried they would make it too sweet. As is it turned out kind of on the sweet side because I used yellow onion.

Pico de gallo: Can of diced tomatoes, too much fresh cilantro, 1/4-1/2 onion, 2 jalapeños, juice of 1/2 fresh lime, healthy pinch of salt, fresh or dried oregano (edit, forgot 1/4-1/2 onion). I use this doodad my wife bought that's like a hand powered blender to chop it all up. I don't like it "chunky." Delicious. Fresh cilantro and lime juice is a must.
