Summertime Eats: Tuna Ceviche

Pin It Well, maybe I can eat this all year round.  But this is just a perfectly light yet flavorful appetizer for the summer.  It's also another dish you can make with frozen tuna.  Now frozen is obviously of a much lower quality than sushi-grade tuna, that's why it's so much cheaper.  But because you are basically cooking the fish with acid instead of heat, any fishiness from the frozen tuna will be cleaned away by the fresh lemons and limes that you'll be using.


about a pound of frozen tuna, sliced into 1/2 inch cubes
1 medium white onion, chopped
juices of 1 lemon and 1 lime
fresh cilantro (about 1/2 cup chopped)
salt and pepper
red pepper flakes

Mix tuna, onion, lemon and lime juices, and cilantro together.  Season with salt and pepper.  Add red pepper flakes (or even chopped jalapeno pepper) according to heat preference. Mix and let sit in the fridge overnight for maximum flavor infusion.  Serve with tortilla chips.
