That sopa I walked you through is pretty traditional.

A couple of my favorite things to make are Mexican shrimp cocktail and ceviche..

There are a million and one ways to make ceviche, so you can look up recipes and play around with it....



I make just a basic one with super fresh tilapia cut up into cubes, onion, garlic, serrano peppers or jalapeno (seed them, don't seed them. Depends on how spicy you like it), cilantro, and cucumber, and a ton of limes.

And all you do is chop the veggies, throw them in a big bowl with the fish, halve the limes, and squeeze enough juice to cover it all. Toss to combine, and throw the bowl (covered) in the fridge to marinate for a couple of hours.

And you're done! You can serve it on tostadas and top with avocado & salsa verde & cilantro! Or do like a pineapple/mango type Pico de gallo! I've seen a lot of people spread a thin layer of mayo on the tostada, but I've never done that.
