Servings: 8 servings
Calories: 93kcal
Ingredients
- 2 cups lump crabmeat
- 1 cup fresh diced tomatoes not canned
- ½ cup diced red onion
- 1 jalapeno minced
- ⅓ to ½ cup fresh lime juice
- ½ cup fresh chopped cilantro
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper
- Salt to taste
- 1 avocado cubed (for serving)
- tostadas for serving
- hot sauce for serving
Instructions
- Combine all the ingredients except the avocado, tostadas and hot sauce and let sit for 30 minutes.
- Taste and adjust the salt as needed.
- Serve on tostadas with avocado and hot sauce.
Notes
- Add extra heat with another jalapeno or any other spicy pepper.
- For a mild ceviche, reduce or eliminate the jalapeno.
- Always use a glass bowl for mixing/storing as the citrus can react to a metal or plastic bowl and impart undesirable flavors to the ceviche.
- Chop all produce the same size so it is uniform and easier to eat on a tostada.
- You CAN make this with imitation crabmeat if you prefer, just note the flavor will be different and will not taste as fresh.
- Add the avocado when ready to serve it as opposed to mixing it in with the rest of the ingredients.
- Add 1-2 teaspoons of fresh extra virgin olive oil to add a touch of richness to the dish.
