This is a sponsored post written by me on behalf of Altos Tequila. All opinions are 100% mine.

Start the summer off right with Fresh Homemade Pico de Gallo that is spiked with Altos Plata Tequila. Perfect for a party appetizer or a tasty snack by the pool!

If you bring this Pico de Gallo recipe to a summer party, everyone will think that you are a kitchen rockstar! The great thing about this recipe is that if you can use a knife . . . you can make this salsa. Don't tell anybody how easy this really is to prepare. Make them think you slaved away in the kitchen making authentic pico de gallo.

What makes this Pico de Gallo unique is the addition of Altos Plata Tequila. Just enough to give it the aroma and essence of tequila. Not enough to get drunk off of chips and salsa! Of course, feel free to add more if you prefer a stronger tequila flavor.

Altos Tequila Plata is the shining star of this dish. It is made from 100% agave grown in the Los Altos highlands of Mexico. The creators, Henry Besant and Dre Masso noticed a gap in the tequila market so they partnered with Maestro Tequilero Jesus Hernandez to create high quality tequila that is accessible to all types of fans.

You may just end up eating this Pico de Gallo with a spoon! Not that I personally would know anything about this. Of course not.

Make the simple shredded chicken for tacos and this transforms from an appetizer to a meal!
