Ingredients

  • 1 pound very fresh mackerel fillets or other saltwater fish fillets, such as grouper, halibut, striped bass, red snapper, or fluke, skinned, rinsed, and cut into 1-2 inch pieces
  • 1 cup peeled and coarsely chopped carrots
  • 1 cup fresh squeezed lime juice
  • 1 jalapeño or serrano chile halved, seeded if desired, and finely chopped
  • 2 tablespoons finely chopped white onion
  • 3 tablespoons chopped cilantro leaves
  • ½ teaspoon dried Mexican oregano
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt
  • Pinch of freshly ground black pepper
  • 10 tostadas homemade or store bought
  • 1 large ripe tomato thinly sliced
  • 1 large ripe avocado halved, pitted, meat scooped out, and sliced

To Prepare

  • Place the fish and carrots in a food processor and pulse 5-6 times, or until the mixture is finely chopped, taking care not to turn it into a puree. Alternatively you could mince with a sharp knife.
  • Place the fish mixture in a large bowl, pour the lime juice over it, and gently toss. Cover and marinate at room temperature for 30-45 minutes.
  • Drain the fish mixture through a fine mesh sieve, pressing out as much liquid as possible with the back of a spoon. Return the fish to the bowl and stir in the chile, onion, cilantro, oregano, salt, and pepper. Mix well. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or up to 12 hours, so all the flavors come together.
  • When ready to serve, taste the ceviche for salt and pepper and add more if necessary.
  • Mound 2-3 tablespoons of ceviche on top of each tostada. Top each with a slice of tomato and avocado and a final sprinkling of salt.

    Thought I lost my husband yesterday – but I found him sitting in the bedroom locked onto your show that I had on while I was in there on our Roku. We will be trying this recipe for Christmas this year! And he loved the Flourless Chocolate Cake recipe that your husband loves…..I made that for his birthday. Perfect Gluten Free cake and it was delicious! Thank you! Oh and I need to find the green sauce that went on here…..can’t wait!

    This was so easy and just delicious!
    I love the method for toasting and salting the tortillas… they were perfectly crunchy and much tastier than the ones that come already toasted in a bag.
    The video was really helpful. Its gonna be one of my summer favorites!

    When I saw Porta Vallarta I remembered my first trip there back in 1989. We stumbled upon a restaurant called “Mexican Joe’s,” that offered blowtorch nachos on the menu. So delicious and what an experience. We still talk about it. Can’t wait to try this recipe.

    Which restaurant did you go to in P.V. for the Ceviche Tostadas. We go to P.V every year for 8 weeks per visit.
    Thank you so much. Love the recipes! I have your Mexican Table cook book.

    Me encanta tu programa , Pati!
    Yo soy mexicana pero crecí en Los Ángeles California, y mi niñez fue 110% Mexicana…….aprendí a cocinar después de casada y después de quemar mis primeros huevos revueltos!
    Mi mami no me enseño a cocinar paso a paso, pero si recuerdo los ingredientes de algunos de los más deliciosos platillos tradicionales de Mexico.
    Ahora, tu programa me ayuda con los pasos y los ingredientes junto a tu linda personalidad y dulzura hacia tus 3 hijos! Yo tengo 3 hijos también: una hija y dos varones. (Mi hija tiene más afán por cocinar y comer c9 ida mexicana, pero a los tres les he enseñado nuestra cultura!

    Has creado y renovado interés por cocinar y por aprender más sobre la historia de nuestra cocina mexicana.
    Gracias.
