Tilapia Ceviche

Its gone from winter to spring almost immediately here in South Texas, and what better than Ceviche on warm days. If you don't know what Ceviche is..ahh I am so sorry, seriously, and uhmm who are you? But at the same time aren't you glad I am providing this awesome recipe for you. Also this is award winning ceviche, since yes back in 2005 or 2006 Daniel and I won ceviche fest..haha, I need to find that video of ceviche fest. So here it is!

1 lb of fresh Tilapia or Halibut ( I used Tilapia )

3 Medium Sized Tomatoes

1/2 Onion

30-40 Limes

1/2 Cucumber

1 Cilantro Bunch

3 Serrano Peppers

Salt

Pepper

Tostadas

Tapatio Hot Sauce

Vegetables..or Fruit. Can someone confirm if tomatoes are a fruit or what is their deal?

Tilapia...why does this picture gross me out so.bad.? but the end result is so worth it.

Okay, start with slicing the fish into small cubes,  and once you're doing slicing it refrigerate while you squeeze your limes.

Freshly squeezed lime juice.

Pour all of the juice over your fish, and put down the fish as compact as you can. You want each piece of fish to be touching the lime juice.

Unfortunately I have bad news guys, this recipe takes a while to make only because the fish is going to cook in the lime juice, something about the acid in the lime, and who knows what, Daniel talks a lot when it comes to science. So I let this "cook" overnight turning the fish a couple of times to make sure you don't eat anything raw.

This is what you want your fish to look like after 8 hours. To be honest I've made this and eaten it in like 3 hours. But hey, I must have really been hungry and anxious to eat this, and no one likes me when I'm hungry, geez I don't even like me when I am hungry.. I would prefer to play it safe and let it sit in the fridge for the 8 hours.

So now that your fish is is ready, you can chop all your vegetables, and toss it with your fish. Add Salt & Pepper, and that is it.

Grab your tostada add some ceviche and eat away, I top mine with an "pacodo" ; avocado, I just love how Ben pronounces avocado. If the serranos are not spicy enough for you, then top it with  your favorite hot sauce, mine is Tapatio :)

Hope you guys like it!!
