Tilapia Tostadas Food

TILAPIA CEVICHE

Steps:

• Put the tilapia in a medium bowl. Pour the lime juice over the fish and mix gently to combine. Cover with plastic wrap and chill in the refrigerator until the fish is white throughout, about 15 to 20 minutes.
• Remove from the refrigerator and drain off the lime juice, gently squeezing the fish with your hands. Discard the lime juice. Add the tomato, cucumber, onion, and cilantro. Season with salt and pepper, to taste. Add the clam-tomato juice and the hot sauce and chile, if using.
• Spread the tostadas generously with mayonnaise and top with the ceviche. Arrange the avocado slices on top of the ceviche and serve immediately with the lime wedges alongside.
• Heat a grill or grill pan over medium heat.
• Put the tortillas on the grill or grill pan, and let them dry out until they are crunchy. Purchased tostadas can be substituted.

FISH AND WHITE BEAN TOSTADAS

Steps:

• In a small bowl, combine the lime juice, zest, garlic and olive oil. Season with salt and pepper, to taste. Put the fish in a baking dish and pour the marinade on top. Marinate for no more than 15 to 30 minutes. Meanwhile, preheat the broiler or grill. Lightly coat a baking sheet with olive oil. Remove the fish from the marinade and arrange on the baking sheet, making sure to leave space between the pieces. Broil until just cooked through, about 4 to 5 minutes.
• Meanwhile, in a medium saute pan, heat the vegetable oil over medium heat. Fry the corn tortillas, 1 at a time, just until crisp, flipping halfway through to brown both sides. Drain on paper towels and salt while still hot.
• To assemble the tostadas: Layer each tostada first with Sauteed White Beans, then the fish. Top with the shredded cabbage and Pineapple and Avocado Salsa. Garnish with a dollop of sour cream and a squeeze of a lime wedge.
• In a small pan, over medium heat, add the oil. When the oil is hot add the onion with a pinch of salt and saute until soft, about 5 minutes. Add the garlic and cumin and cook until fragrant, about 2 minutes. Raise the heat and add the white wine. Cook until the wine has reduced by half. Stir in the beans and oregano and season with salt and pepper, to taste. Cook gently for 15 minutes. Transfer to a serving bowl and serve.
• In a medium bowl, make the dressing by mixing 2 tablespoons of pineapple juice with the lime juice, honey, oil and jalapeno. Season with salt and pepper, to taste. Add the pineapple and onion. Gently fold in the avocado and cilantro. Let the flavors blend for at least 15 minutes before serving.

CHILL-APIA TOSTADA

Steps:

• Brush some vegetable oil on grill grates or a grill pan and heat the grill over medium-high heat.
• Brush the tilapia with the olive oil and sprinkle with the seafood seasoning, cumin and oregano. Grill the tilapia for a few minutes on each side until cooked through.
• Fill a deep, heavy fry pan or cast-iron skillet halfway with vegetable oil. Place over medium-high heat and bring the oil to 350 degrees F. Cut 8 rounds out of the corn tortillas. Fry the tortilla rounds in batches until crisp, and then drain on paper towels.
• In a food processor, combine the avocado, sour cream and heavy cream. Puree until smooth. Add more heavy cream if needed to make a creamy but not too thin sauce.
• Transfer the avocado to a bowl and stir in the cilantro and onions. Season with salt.
• In a bowl, toss the mango with the sugar and a pinch of salt.
• To serve, top each tortilla with some tilapia, top with avocado sauce and then mango. Garnish with chopped cilantro.
