Preparation
Marinating the Ceviche
Combine Ingredients
In a glass bowl, combine the cubed fish with lime and orange juice.
For the freshest ceviche, use seafood caught that same day and serve chilled.
Add Vegetables and Herbs
Add diced onion, jalapeño, and cilantro.
Season
Season with salt and pepper. Cover and refrigerate for 1 hour to allow the fish to "cook" in the citrus juices.
Make sure the ceviche is well-mixed and fully submerged in the citrus juice to ensure proper "cooking." Pro Tip: Chill the ceviche mix in the fridge for an extra 30 minutes after marinating for enhanced flavors.
Preparing the Tostadas
Heat Oil
Heat vegetable oil in a frying pan over medium heat.
Fry Tortillas
Fry each tortilla until golden brown and crispy.
Drain Oil
Place on paper towels to drain excess oil.
Cooking Process
Frying the Tostadas
Heat oil to 375°F before frying.
Marinating the Fish
Ensure all pieces are evenly cut to "cook" uniformly.
Mixing the Dressing
Whisk together ingredients for a smooth, creamy dressing.
