Ceviche

 
   
   
   
Ingredients -  
   

2 pounds firm, Fresh Red Snapper fillets, cut into 1/2 inch pieces, completely deboned
1/2 cup Fresh squeezed Lime Juice
1/2 cup Fresh squeezed Lemon Juice
1/2 Purple Onion, finely diced
1 cup Fresh peeled, seeded, and chopped Tomatoes
1 Serrano Chili, seeded and finely diced
2 teaspoons Salt
dash of Ground Oregano
dash of Tabasco or a few grains Cayenne Pepper

Cilantro
Avocado
Tortillas or Tortilla Chips

 
   
Preparation:  
   

In a non-reactive casserole dish, either Pyrex or ceramic, place the fish, onion, tomatoes, chili, salt, Tabasco, and oregano. Cover with lime and lemon juice. Let sit covered in the refrigerator for an hour, then stir, making sure more of the fish gets exposed to the acidic lime and lemon juices. Let sit for at least 6 hours, giving time for the flavors to blend.

Serve with chopped cilantro and slices of avocado with heated tortillas for ceviche tacos or with tortilla chips.

Optional: Can use shrimp and or scallops as a substitute for some of the fish. Can use a firm cod in place of the red snapper.
