Ceviche recipe (with tilapia)

como hacer ceviche de pescado

Get ready for this delicious Mexican ceviche recipe make it as a snack for family and friends or as Lent food.

People often ask which fish you can use to make the ceviche, you can choose between tilapia, corvina, bonito or mackerel; the procedure is the same.

This ceviche recipe is very easy, it can be ready in about four hours, because we need to wait for the fish to cook in the lemon. Sone people cook the fish before to speed up the process but I prefer the traditional way.

Cooking the fish with lemon juice and a splash of vinegar, (vinegar optional), most people only use lemon juice.

If you are using frozen fish fillets to make the ceviche, allow them to thaw inside the refrigerator for a while.

When the fish is cooked, you can add the onion, tomato, cucumber and cilantro; Mix the ceviche very well, season with salt and let stand for at least fifteen minutes to mix the flavors.

Serve the ceviche with tostadas or crackers and hot sauce (we use salsa Valentina or Botanera). If you prefer, you can add fresh jalapeño or habanero to the ceviche, instead of sauce.

I hope you enjoy my ceviche recipe!
