Ingredients
1 pound sushi-grade tuna
sliced 1/4 inch thick 1 small red onion
halved and thinly sliced 3/4 cup fresh lime juice (from about 5 limes) 1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper 1 large Hass avocado
cut into 1/3-inch dice 1/4 cup coarsely chopped cilantro
plus leaves for garnish Salt Tortilla chips
for serving
Preparation
1.Line a baking sheet with plastic wrap. Arrange the tuna slices in a single layer on the baking sheet and freeze until fairly firm, about 15 minutes. 2.Stack the slices of tuna. Using a very sharp chef’s knife, cut the tuna into neat 1/4-inch cubes. Transfer the cubed tuna to a medium glass or ceramic bowl and stir in the red onion, lime juice and black pepper. Cover the tuna with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 1 hour, stirring gently with a plastic spatula every 15 to 20 minutes (the diced tuna will change color slightly). 3.Just before serving, gently fold in the diced avocado and chopped cilantro and season with salt. Transfer the ceviche to a bowl or individual glasses. Garnish with cilantro leaves and serve with tortilla chips
