Tilapia Ceviche image

I have made this several times, always to raves. It is inexpensive compared to other seafood you can use but the results are still amazing.

Time 4h

Number Of Ingredients 12

6 medium tilapia fillets (i use frozen ones and they work fine)
1 small red onion diced
1 medium carrot, finely diced
1 small cucumber, seeds removed, finely diced
1 large tomato, seeds chopped
1 bunch cilantro, chopped
4 medium limes
2 large lemons
salt to taste
pepper to taste
1-2 medium jalapenos, finely diced
1 pkg tortilla chips

Steps:

  • 1. Dice tilapia into small chunks, place in ziploc bag, and squeeze 2 limes and all lemons, along with some salt and pepper into bag.
  • 2. Thoroughly massage juice with fish chunks and then refrigerate. Keep turning/massaging fish every half hour or so for about 3 hours. This is how you are "cooking" the fish.
  • 3. Chop/dice all vegetables/herbs and set aside, waiting for fish to "cook"
  • 4. Once fish is ready, strain the juice out and then combine with the vegetables/herbs.
  • 5. Once mixed, squeeze in remaining two limes and then add more salt/pepper to taste.
  • 6. Refrigerate until serving. Serve with crisp, fresh tortilla chips. Keeps for only about a day so eat up!
