I have a jar of the Pico de Gallo powder i purchased at at the local Mexican
store quite a while ago. We were at the Ventura County Fair, They had a
roasted corn stand with an amazing roasting machine. The Hispanics were
using this stuff and fresh lime squeezed over the fresh roasted elotes
(corn).. I looked at the jar and then bought some. Holy Cow! That stuff is
HOT!

But then again I am not a good judge I don't care for really hot (spicy)
foods.
