    step 6: Add spices and vegetables to the ceviche bowl and mix together.
  • In a blender, blend 5 oz avocado, 2 tsp garlic, and remaining olive oil into a creamy paste.
    step 7: Blend the avocado, garlic, and olive oil.
  • 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.
