Ingredients

  • 2 pounds tilapia fillets, sushi-grade, finely diced

  • 14 limes, cut in half

  • 1 lime, cut into wedges

  • 1/2 cup chopped, seeded tomato

  • 1/2 cup chopped, seeded cucumber

  • 1/3 cup red onion, finely chopped

  • 1/4 cup fresh cilantro, finely chopped

  • Salt and black pepper

  • 1/2 cup clam-tomato juice

  • 1 tablespoon hot sauce

  • 8 tostadas

  • Low-fat mayonnaise, to taste

  • 1 avocado, peeled, pitted, thinly sliced

Directions

  • Squeeze the juice from the lime halves into a medium bowl. Add the diced tilapia and gently mix. Refrigerate for 15 minutes to allow the lime to cook the fish. When the fish is white throughout, it is cooked. Drain the lime juice and discard.

  • Place the tilapia in a bowl and add the chopped tomato, cucumber, onion, and cilantro. Season with salt and pepper and add the clam-tomato juice and the hot sauce to taste.

  • Spread each tostada with mayonnaise and ceviche. Arrange the avocado slices on top, garnish with the lime wedges, and serve.
