Ceviche | FoodieAtlas

Ingredients

1 pound fresh fish fillets (such as snapper, tilapia, or sea bass), cut into small cubes
1 cup freshly squeezed lime juice (about 6-8 limes)
1/2 cup freshly squeezed lemon juice (about 2-3 lemons)
1 small red onion, finely chopped
1 small green bell pepper, finely chopped
1 small red bell pepper, finely chopped
1-2 cloves garlic, minced
1-2 jalapeños or serrano peppers, finely chopped (optional, for heat)
1/2 cup fresh cilantro, chopped
1 teaspoon salt (or to taste)
1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
1 avocado, diced (optional, for garnish)
Tortilla chips or plantain chips (for serving)

Instructions

Prepare the Fish

In a large bowl, combine the fish cubes with the lime juice and lemon juice.

Cover the bowl and refrigerate for about 2-3 hours, or until the fish is opaque and firm. The citrus juice will "cook" the fish.

Prepare the Vegetables

While the fish is marinating, mix together the chopped red onion, green bell pepper, red bell pepper, minced garlic, and chopped jalapeños (if using) in a separate bowl.

Combine and Season

Once the fish is ready, drain off excess citrus juice, leaving just a small amount to mix with the vegetables.

Add the prepared vegetables to the fish mixture and stir to combine.

Stir in the chopped cilantro, salt, and black pepper. Mix well.

Serve

Garnish with diced avocado, if desired.
