Ceviche Cups

Print Recipe

Fresh and zesty ceviche served in individual cups, perfect as a party appetizer or light starter.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb fresh white fish fillets (such as tilapia or sea bass), diced
  • 1 cup lime juice (freshly squeezed)
  • 1/2 cup red onion, finely chopped
  • 1 cup tomato, diced
  • 1/2 cup cucumber, diced
  • 1/2 cup avocado, diced
  • 1/4 cup cilantro, chopped
  • 1 jalapeño, finely diced (optional, for heat)
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 12 mini phyllo cups or tortilla chip cups

Instructions

  1. Dice the fish into small bite-sized cubes and place in a bowl.
  2. Pour fresh lime juice over the fish, making sure it is fully submerged. Cover and refrigerate for 30–40 minutes until the fish turns opaque.
  3. Drain excess lime juice, leaving just a little for flavor.
  4. Add red onion, tomato, cucumber, avocado, cilantro, and jalapeño. Mix gently to combine.
  5. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  6. Spoon ceviche mixture into mini phyllo or tortilla cups just before serving.
  7. Garnish with extra cilantro or lime wedges if desired.

Notes

  • Ensure the fish is extremely fresh and sushi-grade for safe consumption.
  • You can substitute shrimp or scallops for the fish.
  • Prepare the filling ahead, but fill cups just before serving to prevent sogginess.
