Baja Fish Ceviche Tostada

Ceviche is a South American seafood dish where diced raw fish or other shellfish is marinated in citrus. This process is called denaturation - the acid from the citrus essentially “cooks” the fish, turning it from raw to firm and opaque.

📝 Ingredients

• 1 pound rockfish, (cut into 1/4” cubes)
• 1/2 medium red onion, (diced)
• 2 medium Roma tomatoes, (cored and diced)
• 1/2 packed cup cilantro, chopped
• 1/2 cup freshly squeezed lime juice
• 1/2 cup freshly squeezed orange juice
• Kosher salt, (as needed)
• 1/4 cup sour cream
• 1 teaspoon chili powder
• 1/2 teaspoon cayenne
• Vegetable oil, (as needed, for frying)
• 6 (6-inch) corn tortillas
• 1 medium Hass avocado, (pitted, peeled and sliced)
• 1 medium radish, (thinly sliced)
• 1/4 cup Rio Luna Organic Nacho Sliced Jalapeños
• Handful cilantro leaves

👨‍🍳 Instructions

6. 6Fill a large cast iron pan or sauté pan with enough vegetable oil to reach ¼-inch up the pan and heat through. Test a corner of one of the corn tortillas, it should bubble when added to the hot oil. Working one at a time, add the tortilla to the hot oil and fry until crispy on both sides, about 1 minute per side. Remove to a paper towel-lined plate and repeat with the remaining tortillas.
7. 7Drain the excess liquid from the ceviche. Use a spoon to add a scoop of the ceviche to each of the tostadas and top with slices of avocado, radish, jalapeños and cilantro. Drizzle with the spicy crema and serve immediately.
