- ⅛ teaspoon garlic powder
- ¼ teaspoon salt

Notes
- Dice everything evenly: Evenly-sized pieces will ensure that each bite has a mixture of all of the flavors and textures.
- Wear gloves when chopping jalapenos: Wear food-safe gloves when handling hot peppers to prevent skin irritation or transferring the capsaicin to your eyes if you accidentally touch them.
- Store in the fridge: Transfer the pico to an airtight container and store in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Give it a stir before serving, as separation can occur.
