Instructions
1. Prepare the Fish
o Place the diced fish in a glass or ceramic mixing bowl.
o Pour the lime and orange juices over the fish, ensuring all pieces are submerged.
o Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 30 minutes to 1 hour, allowing the citrus acids to "cook" the fish.
2. Prepare the Al Pastor Mixture
o In a separate bowl, combine the chopped pineapple, red onion, jalapeño, tomato, and cilantro.
o Add the salt, chili powder, dried oregano, and olive oil.
o Mix well to combine all ingredients.
3. Combine and Marinate
o After the fish has marinated and turned opaque, drain off most of the citrus juice, leaving a small amount to keep the ceviche moist.
o Add the Al Pastor mixture to the marinated fish.
o Stir gently to combine all ingredients thoroughly.
o Cover and refrigerate for an additional 15-20 minutes to allow flavors to meld.
4. Serve
o Remove the ceviche from the refrigerator and give it a gentle stir.
o Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary.
o Serve chilled with tortilla chips or on tostadas.
