Ingredients

  • Fresh white fish (such as cod or tilapia) - 200 grams
  • Fresh lime juice - 60 ml
  • Fresh lemon juice - 30 ml
  • Red onion - 1 small, finely chopped
  • Cilantro - 30 grams, chopped
  • Jalapeño pepper - 1 small, finely chopped (adjust to taste)
  • Cherry tomatoes - 100 grams, quartered
  • Salt - 1/2 teaspoon (to taste)
  • Black pepper - 1/4 teaspoon (to taste)
  • Avocado - 1 medium, diced
  • Tortilla chips - for serving

Steps

  1. Begin by cutting the fresh fish into small, bite-sized cubes and place them in a glass or ceramic bowl.
  2. Pour the lime juice and lemon juice over the fish, ensuring all pieces are well-coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 15 minutes to allow the fish to 'cook' in the citrus juices.
  3. While the fish is marinating, prepare the vegetables. Finely chop the red onion, cilantro, and jalapeño pepper, and quarter the cherry tomatoes.
  4. After 15 minutes, check the fish; it should appear opaque and slightly firm. Add the red onion, cilantro, jalapeño, and cherry tomatoes to the bowl.
  5. Season the mixture with salt and black pepper, then gently fold in the diced avocado.
  6. Serve the ceviche immediately with tortilla chips on the side for scooping.
