Mexican Ceviche Tacos

These Mexican ceviche tacos offer a vibrant and refreshing way to enjoy high-quality seafood. By curing fresh, sushi-grade fish fillets in a zesty blend of lime and lemon juice, the fish develops a firm texture and bright, acidic flavour that pairs perfectly with crisp vegetables. It is a sophisticated yet simple dish that celebrates the clean flavours of traditional Latin American coastal cuisine.

As a high protein meal, this recipe is ideal for those seeking a light yet satisfying dinner that is packed with healthy fats from fresh avocado. The combination of crunchy taco shells and the chilled ceviche filling creates a delightful contrast in textures. Serve these at your next summer gathering or as a nutritious midweek treat alongside your favourite shop-bought salsa.
