Start by gathering your ingredients for the ceviche.

Use 1 pound of tilapia or any white fish you prefer.

Squeeze enough limes to get about 2 cups of lime juice.

Add the lime juice to the fish, ensuring it is fully submerged to 'cook' the fish.

Refrigerate the fish in lime juice for 30 minutes to 1 hour, stirring halfway through to ensure even cooking.

After marinating, strain some of the lime juice from the fish, leaving a little for flavor.

In a larger bowl, combine the marinated fish with chopped cilantro, diced cucumber, diced roma tomatoes, diced onion, and diced jalapeno.

Season the mixture with fine sea salt and fresh cracked black pepper to taste.

Mix everything together and adjust seasoning if necessary, adding a little lime juice back in if desired.

Serve the ceviche on tostadas or with crackers, adding hot sauce to taste.
