Instructions

Tilapia Ceviche

  • Combine tilapia and all veggies except tomatoes and cilantro into a bowl.
  • Add the juice of 3 limes and 2 lemons to bowl. Mix together well. Refrigerate for 2 hours.
  • Smash avocados with a fork. Add a teaspoon of lime juice to avocado (this will prevent avocado from turning an ugly brown color. Add salt and pepper to taste. Mix well.

Corn Tortillas and Assembly of Tostadas

  • In a skillet over medium heat add a tablespoon of oil.  When oil is hot add a corn tortilla at a time and fry on both sides until golden brown.  Tortillas fry quickly so keep an eye on tortillas!  Drain on paper towels.

  • Spread three tablespoons of avocado spread on top of crispy tostada and add tilapia ceviche on top.
  • Garnish with jalapeño slivers if you like. Done! Enjoy!
