Tilapia Ceviche is a great recipe for light dinners and all your summer fiestas. I learned this recipe in Mexico where people enjoy the finest fresh seafood every day. Give your tastebuds a delicious vacation!
Chop tilapia into 1/2-inch pieces. Place in a glass or stainless-steel bowl. Add lime juice and toss until evenly coated. Cover and refrigerate until the fish is opaque and "cooked" through, about 4 hours.
Drain off and discard excess lime juice. Add onion, carrots, tomatoes, jalapeños, and cilantro and toss until evenly coated. Season to taste with salt and more fresh lime juice if desired.
To serve:
Serve on tostadas or with tortilla chips or saltine crackers, passing mayonnaise, hot sauce, and sliced avocado separately. Or, divide ceviche among small clear-glass bowls, wineglasses, or martini glasses.
Notes
Most of the heat from jalapeños comes from the seeds and white membrane. Scrape those out for less heat; add them in for more heat!
