Steps to Make Ceviche

  1. Cut the fish: Chop your fish into small, bite-size pieces.
  2. Marinate in citrus: Put the fish in a bowl. Pour lime and lemon juice over it. Make sure the juice covers the fish.
  3. Chill: Cover the bowl with plastic wrap. Put it in the fridge for about 1-2 hours. The fish will “cook” in the juice.
  4. Prepare veggies: While the fish is chilling, slice the red onion. Chop the cilantro. Mince the jalapeño if you’re using it.
  5. Mix it up: After 1-2 hours, take out the fish. Check if it’s opaque. This means it’s done. Add salt and pepper.
  6. Add veggies: Mix in the onion, cilantro, and jalapeño. If you want, add the diced avocado now.
  7. Serve: Serve your ceviche right away. You can eat it with chips or on its own. Enjoy!
