Ingredients
- 1 pound fresh white fish fillets (such as snapper or tilapia), diced into small pieces
- 1/2 cup lime juice
- 1/4 cup lemon juice
- 1/4 cup orange juice
- 1 red onion, finely chopped
- 1 jalapeno pepper, seeds and ribs removed, finely chopped
- 1 tomato, diced
- 1 avocado, diced
- 1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro
- Salt and pepper to taste
Directions
- In a glass or stainless steel bowl, combine the diced fish, lime juice, lemon juice, and orange juice. Mix well to ensure all the fish is coated in the citrus juice. Cover and refrigerate for 20-30 minutes, or until the fish is opaque and has a slightly firm texture.
- Once the fish is ready, drain off the excess citrus juice. Add the chopped red onion, jalapeno pepper, tomato, avocado, and cilantro to the bowl. Gently stir to combine all the ingredients.
- Season with salt and pepper to taste. You can also add a pinch of chili powder for some extra heat if desired.
- Cover the bowl and refrigerate for an additional 10-15 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.
- Serve the ceviche chilled in individual bowls or as a topping for tostadas or tortilla chips. Garnish with additional cilantro if desired.
