Equipment

  • Mixing bowl
  • Knife
  • Cutting board
  • Citrus Juicer

Ingredients:  

Main Ingredients

  • 1 lb fresh fish fillets (tilapia or sea bass), diced
  • 1 cup fresh lime juice about 8-10 limes
  • 1 medium red onion, finely chopped
  • 2 medium tomatoes, diced
  • 1 jalapeño, finely chopped seeds removed for less heat
  • 1/2 cup fresh cilantro, chopped
  • 1 tsp salt or to taste
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper or to taste
  • 1 avocado, diced optional

Instructions: 

  • In a large mixing bowl, combine the diced fish and lime juice. Make sure the fish is fully submerged in the lime juice. Cover and refrigerate for about 15 minutes, or until the fish turns opaque.
  • Drain the fish, discarding the lime juice. Add the chopped red onion, tomatoes, jalapeño, cilantro, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to combine.
  • Gently fold in the diced avocado, if using. Taste and adjust seasoning with more salt and pepper if needed.
  • Serve immediately with tortilla chips or on tostadas.

Notes:

For best results, use the freshest fish you can find. You can also add other seafood like shrimp or scallops.
