This Italian cheese is so versatile that it can be used in both sweet and savory recipes from cheesecakes to lasagnas.

Pico de gallo is an absolute must for Mexican night. Tomatoes, onion, jalapeno and cilantro is how Applebee's does it. Great on tortilla chips, tacos, burritos, you name it.

3 large tomatoes, diced
1 large onion, diced
2 tablespoons diced jalapenos
1/2 cup chopped fresh cilantro
2 teaspoons salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 tablespoon white vinegar
Combine the tomatoes, onion, jalapenos, and cilantro in a large bowl. Sprinkle with the salt, pepper, garlic powder, olive oil, and vinegar. Toss gently to combine.
Cover the bowl and let sit for 6-8 hours at room temperature before serving.

Not to be confused with evaporated milk, sweetened condensed milk is very sweet (and very sticky) and used primarily in desserts.

I used to work at applebees as a prep cook and make 5lbs or more or this a day. The only thing is that it is red onions that are used.
