CHEAP EATS: Coachella Ceviche Tostadas


If you have a lemon tree, or like us, a neighbor’s tree that hangs into your yard, you might enjoy this recipe that uses lemons. It is also appropriate for those observing meatless meals for Lent. My good friend Diana Garcia, born in Coachella, made these Ceviche tostadas for our family.

Ingredients:

1lb. Imitation Crab meat, shredded
1lb. shrimp, deveined, tails removed, and chopped
2 avocados, chopped
½ red onion, chopped
1 lrg. Pinch of fresh cilantro, chopped
¼ c. soy sauce
1 ½ c. ketchup
Juice of 5 lemons
4 large pickled jalapeno peppers, seeded and chopped (optional)
2 T. Tapatio sauce (optional)
1 pkg. tostada shells

Combine fish and wet ingredients and refrigerate for one hour, or up to overnight. Serve on prepared tostada shells.

If you shop at Winco as I did, the recipe will cost less than $15.00. Add $1 if you have to buy your lemons. It will make about 15-20 ceviche tostadas.
