Ingredients

  • 1 lb fresh white fish (such as halibut or snapper), cut into small cubes
  • 1 cup fresh lime juice

  3. Add the red onion, jalapeno pepper, cilantro leaves, tomato, and avocado to the bowl with the fish.
  4. Gently mix all the ingredients together until well combined.
  5. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

  8. Enjoy this juicy and spicy ceviche with friends and family!

Interesting Facts

  • Ceviche is a popular dish in many Latin American countries, known for its fresh and vibrant flavors.
  • The acid in the lime juice and orange juice actually 'cooks' the fish, giving it a unique texture and taste.
  • Traditional ceviche is typically made with raw fish, but marinating it in citrus juices eliminates any potential bacteria.
