Ingredients (14)

  • 11 oz sea bass fillet
  • 4 6-inch corn tortillas
  • 5 oz avocado sliced
  • 3 oz cucumber chopped
  • 3 oz tomato flesh (no seeds or center), chopped
  • 2 oz onions chopped
  • 3/4 cup freshly squeezed lime juice *
  • 1 tbsp olive oil divided
  • 1/2 tsp serrano/jalapeno pepper chopped
  • 1/4 cup cilantro leaves finely chopped
  • 1/2 tsp black pepper
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 2 tsp garlic minced
  • 4 tsp sriracha

INSTRUCTIONS

1

Preheat the oven to 325°F.

2

Chop 11 oz sea bass fillet into 1/4 inch pieces. Soak fish in 3/4 cup freshly squeezed lime juice for 20 minutes.

3

Lightly brush 4 6-inch corn tortillas with 1/2 tbsp olive oil and pile them on top of each other. Slice them diagonally four times so that each tortilla forms 8 equal (triangular) pieces.

4

Place tortilla pieces onto a sheet pan and bake for 6 minutes (be sure to check them at 4 minutes, they cook quickly!) Remove from the oven.

5

Once the fish has turned white, drain and discard the lime juice.

6

In a medium-sized bowl, mix together 3 oz cucumbers, 3 oz tomatoes flesh, 2 oz onions, 1/2 tsp jalapeno pepper, 1/4 cup cilantro leaves, 1/2 tsp black pepper, 1/4 tsp salt, and fish.

7

In a blender, blend 5 oz avocado, 2 tsp garlic, and remaining olive oil into a creamy paste.

8

To assemble the ceviche, spread a teaspoon of avocado paste onto a baked tortilla chip, add 1 1/2 tablespoons of the fish mixture, and top with 4 tsp sriracha sauce.

(*) Only some of the lime juice is present in the final product and we have calculated nutritional values based on that amount. The total amount consumed is ⅓ cup of lime juice.
