Ingredients

• Ceviche Ingredients:

• 1 lb fresh firm white fish (like cod or tilapia), diced 🐟

• 1 cup fresh lime juice (about 6-8 limes) 🍋

• 1 small red onion, thinly sliced 🧅

Directions

• Preparing the Ceviche:
• In a glass or ceramic bowl, combine the diced fish with lime juice. Ensure the fish is fully submerged in the juice. 🥣
• Add the sliced red onion and jalapeños. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Mix gently. 🌶️
• Cover and let it marinate in the refrigerator for about 15-30 minutes, until the fish appears opaque and “cooked.”
• Serving:
• Once marinated, gently fold in the chopped cilantro.
• Serve the ceviche on lettuce leaves, garnished with slices of boiled sweet potato and corn on the cob if desired. 🍽️🌽

Notes
