Ingredients

• 1 pound fresh white fish (such as tilapia or snapper), cut into small cubes
• 1/2 pound fresh shrimp, peeled and deveined
• 1/2 cup fresh lime juice
• 1/4 cup fresh lemon juice
• 1/4 cup fresh orange juice
• 1 red bell pepper, diced
• 1/2 red onion, finely chopped
• 1 jalapeno pepper, seeded and minced
• 1 tomato, seeded and diced

• 1 avocado, diced
• Salt and pepper to taste
• Tortilla chips or tostadas for serving

Directions

1. In a large bowl, combine the fish, shrimp, lime juice, lemon juice, and orange juice. Make sure all the seafood is well-coated in the citrus juice. Cover the bowl and refrigerate for 15-20 minutes, or until the seafood is opaque and no longer translucent.
2. While the seafood marinates, prepare the vegetables. In a separate bowl, combine the diced red bell pepper, finely chopped red onion, minced jalapeno pepper, diced tomato, and chopped cilantro. Mix well to combine.
3. After the seafood has marinated, drain the excess liquid from the bowl. Add the marinated seafood to the bowl with the vegetables. Gently fold the mixture together until everything is well combined.
4. Carefully stir in the diced avocado, being careful not to mash it too much. Season the ceviche with salt and pepper to taste.
5. Cover the bowl and refrigerate for an additional 10-15 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.
6. Serve the ceviche with tortilla chips or on top of tostadas for a crunchy texture. Enjoy!
