Ceviche Mexicano is a fresh dish that embodies the vibrant flavors of Mexico. Traditionally made with fresh raw fish, it is marinated in citrus juices that provide a tangy and tender texture as the acidity ‘cooks’ the fish. Mixed with tomatoes, onions, cilantro, and jalapenos, this dish offers a wonderful combination of flavors. Ceviche is especially popular in coastal regions and often enjoyed as an appetizer or light lunch. Its simplicity in preparation allows for customization with various ingredients to fit different taste preferences.

Instructions
