Tips:

• For a spicier ceviche, leave the seeds in one of the serrano peppers.
• If you don’t have serrano peppers, you can substitute with poblano peppers.
• You can also add other vegetables to the ceviche, such as bell peppers, carrots, or zucchini.
• Serve the ceviche with a side of chips and salsa for a complete meal.
