Ceviche Mixture

Tostada Base

Method

Prepare the Ceviche

  1. 1

    Step 1: Cut the Fish

    Begin by cutting the fresh white fish fillet into small, bite-sized pieces, approximately 1/2 inch cubes.

  2. 2

    Step 2: Marinate the Fish

    In a medium bowl, combine the fish pieces with fresh lime juice. Ensure that the fish is well-coated in the lime juice to effectively 'cook' it. Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or until the fish is opaque and firm.

  3. 3

    Step 3: Prepare the Vegetables

    While the fish is marinating, finely dice the red onion, chop the cilantro, and finely chop the jalapeño. Set aside.

  4. 4

    Step 4: Combine Ingredients

    Once the fish is ready, remove it from the refrigerator. Add the diced red onion, chopped cilantro, jalapeño, salt, and black pepper to the fish mixture. Gently stir to combine all ingredients. Fold in the diced avocado last to avoid mashing it.

Assemble the Tostadas

  1. 5

    Step 1: Prepare the Tostadas

    On a clean serving platter, lay out the corn tostadas. You can lightly toast them in the oven if desired for extra crunch.

  2. 6

    Step 2: Add Sour Cream

    Spread a tablespoon of sour cream on each tostada, creating a creamy base for the ceviche.

  3. 7

    Step 3: Top with Ceviche

    Spoon a generous amount of the prepared ceviche mixture onto each tostada, ensuring even distribution of fish and vegetables.

  4. 8

    Step 4: Garnish and Serve

    Top each tostada with thinly sliced radishes for added crunch and color. Serve immediately with lime wedges on the side for extra zest.
