Treat your ingredients with care...
- Avocados — Choose ripe avocados that yield to gentle pressure when squeezed. If they are not ripe enough, the texture of the ceviche will be too firm.
- Jalapeños — Adjust the amount of jalapeños according to your spice preference. For a milder version, remove the seeds and membranes before chopping.
Tips & Tricks
- For added freshness, squeeze extra lime juice over the ceviche just before serving.
- If you prefer a chunkier texture, mash only half of the avocados and leave the other half diced.
- Experiment with different types of tomatoes, such as cherry tomatoes or heirloom tomatoes, to add variety to the dish.
- Serve the Spicy Avocado Ceviche in a hollowed-out pineapple or avocado shell for an impressive presentation.
- If you want to make it even spicier, leave some of the jalapeño seeds in the ceviche.
Serving advice
Serve the Spicy Avocado Ceviche as a refreshing appetizer or as a topping for grilled fish, shrimp, or chicken. It pairs well with crispy tortilla chips or as a filling for tacos or tostadas. Garnish with additional cilantro leaves and a squeeze of lime juice for an extra burst of flavor.
Presentation advice
Present the Spicy Avocado Ceviche in a vibrant bowl or on a decorative platter. Arrange tortilla chips around the ceviche for an inviting and colorful display. Sprinkle some chopped cilantro on top for an added touch of freshness.
