Classic Avocado Ceviche Tostaditas
INGREDIENTS
1 lb. very fresh boneless, skinless ocean fish fillets, cut in 1/4-inch dice
1 cup fresh lime juice
1 1/4 cups tomato, seeded and chopped
1/2 cup sliced pitted green olives (preferably manzanillo)
3 tbsp. chopped cilantro leaves
2 tbsp. finely chopped seeded serrano chiles, or to taste
1/2 cup finely chopped onion
2 - 3 tbsp. olive oil
3/4 tsp. salt
1 tsp. sugar, optional
1 large ripe avocado from Mexico, peeled, pitted and diced (about 8 oz.)
24 large flat tortilla chips, preferably housemade
INSTRUCTIONS
-
1In a bowl, combine fish and lime juice. Cover and refrigerate up to 6 hours until fish is no longer pink (raw looking) when broken apart. Drain in a colander, pressing gently to remove excess limejuice (can be refrigerated for up to 18 hours at this point).

2For Tomato-Serrano Salsa: In a bowl, combine tomato, olives, cilantro and chiles. Place onion in a strainer; rinse under cold water and add to tomato mixture.

4To Plate: Spoon a generous tablespoon of the fish mixture on each tortilla chip; top each with a cilantro leaf, if desired. Arrange Ceviche-Avocado Tostaditas on serving plates or a platter.
