Ingredients

  • 1.5 lbs white fish fillets (mahi-mahi or snapper), diced
  • 1 cup fresh lime juice
  • 1/2 red onion, thinly sliced
  • 1/4 cup fresh cilantro, chopped
  • 1 ripe avocado, diced
  • 1 jalapeno, minced
  • 1 tomato, diced
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1/8 tsp black pepper
  • 2 tsp olive oil
  • 2 cups tortilla chips

Instructions

  1. 1

    Dice 1.5 lbs diced white fish fillets (mahi-mahi or snapper) into small cubes (about 1/2 inch).

  2. 2

    Place white fish fillets (mahi-mahi or snapper) in a glass or ceramic bowl (not metal). Pour 1 cup fresh lime juice over white fish fillets (mahi-mahi or snapper) until just covered.

  3. 3

    Add 1/2 thinly sliced red onion, 1 minced jalapeno, and 1/4 tsp salt. Stir gently.

  4. 4

    Cover and refrigerate for 30-45 minutes. The white fish fillets (mahi-mahi or snapper) will turn opaque and firm as it cures in the lime juice.

  5. 5

    Gently fold in 1 diced ripe avocado, 1 diced tomato, and 1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro. Drizzle with 2 tsp olive oil.

  6. 6

    Season with 1/8 tsp black pepper. Taste and adjust salt if needed.

  7. 7

    Serve immediately in chilled bowls with 2 cups tortilla chips on the side.
