Instructions
- 1
Prep the Fish: Place the diced fish in a glass or ceramic bowl. Do not use a metal bowl, as it can react with the acid.
- 2
Cure the Fish: Pour the fresh lime juice over the fish, ensuring the pieces are completely submerged. Add the thinly sliced red onion.
- 3
Marinate: Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate. Let it cure for 15-30 minutes. The fish is "cooked" when the flesh turns opaque and firm. Do not over-marinate, or it will become tough.
- 4
Drain (Optional): Once the fish is opaque, you can drain about half of the excess lime juice if you prefer a less acidic ceviche, or leave it for "leche de tigre" (tiger's milk).
- 5
Mix Vegetables: Gently fold in the diced tomatoes, minced jalapeños, and chopped cilantro. Season with salt to taste.
- 6
Serve: Serve immediately chilled. Serve with crispy tostadas, tortilla chips, or saltine crackers, and garnish with slices of fresh avocado.
