Ceviche tostada is a traditional Mexican dish that combines the flavors of fresh seafood, tangy marinade, and crispy tortillas. It is a light and refreshing appetizer or main course that is perfect for any occasion. The key to a great ceviche tostada is using fresh, high-quality ingredients. The fish should be firm and flaky, and the vegetables should be crisp and colorful. The marinade, typically made with lime juice, cilantro, and chili peppers, adds a bright and acidic flavor to the dish. The tostadas, or fried corn tortillas, provide a crispy base for the ceviche and other toppings. In this article, we will explore the different ways to make ceviche tostadas, from classic recipes to modern variations. We will also provide tips on choosing the best ingredients and assembling the perfect ceviche tostada.

CEVICHE TOSTADAS
Steps:
- To make tostada shells, lay tortillas in a single layer on a counter and cover with a dry towel for about 30 minutes. Heat oil to 1-inch depth in a large skillet to 380 degrees. Fry one at a time until golden, about 30 seconds per side. Drain on paper towels.
- Cut fish into half-inch dice. Marinate in lime juice and salt to cover for 1 to 6 hours. Drain fish, mix with remaining ingredients and serve on the crisped tortillas with lime wedges, or use as a dip with tortilla chips.

Steps:
- Dice the fish into 1/4-inch cubes, place in a ceramic or glass bowl and sprinkle with 1 teaspoon kosher salt. Add the lime juice and mix well. Cover with plastic wrap, pressing down so the fish is submerged in the juice. Refrigerate for 30 minutes, or up to an hour for a firmer texture.
- Drain the fish in a colander and return it to the mixing bowl. Add the onion, scallions, tomatillos and half the chiles. Add a good pinch of salt and mix well. Taste and add more chopped chiles if necessary. Stir in the cilantro and add a squeeze of lime.
- Line 4 to 6 individual plates with lettuce leaves. Center a tostada or several large tortilla chips on each plate and spoon the ceviche mixture on top.
- Surround with lightly salted avocado slices, then add radishes and lime wedges.

Tips:
- Use fresh, high-quality fish. The fresher the fish, the better the ceviche will taste. Look for fish that is firm to the touch and has clear, bright eyes.
- Cut the fish into small pieces. This will help the ceviche to cook evenly and quickly.
- Marinate the fish in citrus juice. This will help to tenderize the fish and give it a bright, tangy flavor. Use a mixture of lime juice, lemon juice, and orange juice for the best flavor.
- Add other ingredients to the ceviche. Common additions include onions, cilantro, tomatoes, and peppers. You can also add other fruits, such as mangoes or pineapple.
- Serve the ceviche chilled. Ceviche is best served chilled, so make sure to refrigerate it for at least 30 minutes before serving.
