Tuna Ceviche Tostadas
Ingredients
- 1 lbs sushi grade tuna cut into 1/2-inch cubes
- 1/2 tsp salt
- freshly ground black pepper
- 1/4 cup fresh lime juice
- 2 tbsps fresh lemon juice
- 1 cup chopped tomatoes
- 3/4 cup minced red onion
- 3/4 cup minced yellow bell pepper
- 2 red serrano or jalapeno peppers seeded, finely chopped
- 1 large avocado peeled, pitted, diced
- 1/2 tbsp chopped fresh cilantro
- Street Yellow Corn Tacos such as "Mission"
Instructions
- Place fish in medium bowl, stir in salt until dissolved. Add freshly ground black pepper to taste. Add lime juice and lemon juice and toss. Add red onions, yellow peppers, hot peppers, and tomatoes. Cover and chill for about 15 min. The longer the tuna sits in the marinade, the more it "cooks". The short marinade will make the tuna like a medium rare steak, firm yet soft and juicy.
- While marinating, you can toast the street tacos in a nonstick frying pan until they just brown slightly. Keep warm in aluminum foil.
- Add the avocado and cilantro to ceviche mixture and toss. Top each taco with large spoonful of mixture and serve.
Notes
Only sushi grade fish should be used for this recipe.
