Ingredients

  • 2 pounds tilapia fillets, cut into cubes, or more to taste

  • 2 small semi-firm avocados, cut into cubes, or more to taste

  • 8 cloves garlic, minced, or more to taste

  • 1 habanero pepper, minced

  • 2 teaspoons chopped fresh cilantro

  • ½ teaspoon ground black pepper

  • teaspoon ground ginger (Optional)

  • 30 fluid ounces lime juice, or as needed

  • ½ large red onion, finely chopped

  • 20 small flour tortillas, or as needed (Optional)

Directions

  1. Mix tilapia, avocados, garlic, habanero pepper, cilantro, salt, pepper, and ginger in a bowl. Pour enough lime juice over tilapia mixture to cover completely.
