    5 kiwis
    ½ bunch cilantro
    1 red onion
    1 garlic clove
    2 lemons
    1 red chili
    1 green chili
    pinch himalayan salt
  • To prevent the avocado from being mixed to much and getting soft, add this in the end and mix carefully.
    1 avocado

Assemble the cups and pico de gallo

  • If you want to eat the cups directly lay the cups on a plate and fill them with the kiwi & avocado pico de gallo.
  • Eat them later. Because of the liquid the tortilla cups get soggy pretty fast, so if they are not eaten directly serve the cups and pico de gallo seperately.
Recipe notes
  • You can make the tortilla cups and pico de gallo a day in advance. Store the pico de gallo and cups seperately in an air tight container.
  • You can vary with the ingredients. Black beans (drained and washed) also work very well with the kiwi & avocado pico de gallo.
  • If you don't want to make the cups you can also serve them with your own quick homemade tortilla chips (fried or baked).
