Image for recipe: Authentic Tilapia Ceviche
Ready in: 1h 20 mins
Serves: 15 servings
Ingredients: 7

This is ceviche scaled for a crowd: fifteen servings of tilapia cubed and cured in fresh lime juice until opaque and firm, then folded with tomato, red onion, cucumber and a generous handful of cilantro. The lime does the cooking; the vegetables keep every bite crisp and cold. Give it its full marinating time and serve it heaped on tostadas or with a big bowl of chips.

Ingredients

8
tilapia fillets
15
limes, juiced
1
large tomato, finely diced
1
large red onion, finely diced
2
cucumbers, peeled, seeded, and finely diced
12
bunch finely chopped cilantro
salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

1. Begin by meticulously dicing the raw tilapia into bite-sized pieces, then gently place them in a spacious bowl. Pour in an ample amount of lime juice to generously cover the tender fish.
2. Integrate the finely diced tomato, red onion, and cucumbers into the bowl, blending them harmoniously. Fold in the delicately chopped cilantro, and season the mixture with a pinch of salt and a dash of pepper.
3. Allow the ceviche to marinate in the refrigeration, allowing the flavors to meld and intensify for a minimum of one hour. Prior to serving, sample and adjust the seasoning as needed, enhancing with salt or pepper to achieve the perfect balance.
