Ingredients for Ceviche Recipe
  • 1 lb fresh fish fillets (such as tilapia or sea bass)
  • 1 cup fresh lime juice
  • 1/2 cup fresh lemon juice
  • 1 small red onion, finely chopped
  • 1 jalapeño pepper, seeded and minced
  • 1/2 cup fresh cilantro, chopped
  • 1 cup diced tomatoes
  • 1 avocado, diced
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Tortilla chips or tostadas for serving
Instructions for Ceviche Recipe
  1. 1
    Prepare the Fish: Dice the fresh fish fillets into small, bite-sized pieces and place them in a large glass or ceramic bowl.
  2. 2
    Marinate in Citrus Juice: Pour fresh lime and lemon juice over the fish, ensuring it is fully submerged. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 1 hour, allowing the citrus juice to "cook" the fish.
  3. 3
    Add Vegetables and Seasonings: Once the fish is opaque and firm, drain excess citrus juice, leaving a small amount for flavor. Add finely chopped red onion, minced jalapeño, chopped cilantro, diced tomatoes, and avocado to the bowl. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  4. 4
    Mix and Chill: Gently mix all ingredients together until well combined. Taste and adjust seasoning if needed. Refrigerate for an additional 10-15 minutes to let the flavors meld.
  5. 5
    Serve and Enjoy: Serve the ceviche chilled, accompanied by tortilla chips or tostadas for a delightful appetizer.
