Ceviche de Pescado

Ceviche de Pescado is a refreshing Mexican dish that combines fresh fish with zesty lime juice, vibrant vegetables, and aromatic herbs. This high-protein breakfast is perfect for starting your day with a burst of flavor and nutrition.

Ingredients

• Fresh white fish (such as tilapia or cod) - 200 grams, diced
• Lime juice - 100 ml (about 4-5 limes)
• Red onion - 1 small, finely chopped
• Tomato - 1 medium, diced
• Cucumber - 1 small, diced
• Fresh cilantro - 15 grams, chopped
• Jalapeño pepper - 1 small, finely chopped (optional)
• Salt - to taste
• Black pepper - to taste
• Avocado - 1 small, diced (for serving)
• Tortilla chips - for serving

Steps

1. In a glass or ceramic bowl, combine the diced fish and lime juice. Ensure the fish is fully submerged in the juice and let it marinate for about 15-20 minutes until the fish is opaque and 'cooked' by the acidity.
2. While the fish is marinating, prepare the vegetables. Finely chop the red onion, tomato, cucumber, and jalapeño (if using).
3. After the fish has marinated, drain off excess lime juice, and add the chopped vegetables and cilantro to the bowl.
4. Season the ceviche with salt and black pepper to taste, mixing gently to combine all ingredients.
5. Serve the ceviche chilled, topped with diced avocado and accompanied by tortilla chips.
