This Sweet and Sour Ceviche With Homemade Tortilla Nests recipe is a refreshing take on the classic Latin American dish. The citrus juices of lime and orange give a tangy sweetness to the ceviche that is balanced by the bite of fresh jalapenos. The dish is finished off with crunchy, freshly baked tortilla nests and a sprinkle of Emeril's Original Essence or Creole Essence/Bayou Blast for a touch of Cajun heat. This dish is perfect as an appetizer or light dinner, especially during the hot summer months.

Instructions

1.In a large mixing bowl, combine the red snapper, diced tomatoes, white onion, lime juice, orange juice, cilantro, olive oil, jalapeno, lime zest, orange zest, salt, and pepper.
2.Stir well to combine and let the mixture marinate in the refrigerator for 1 hour.
3.Meanwhile, preheat the oven to 375 degrees F and lightly oil a muffin tin.
4.Cut each tortilla into 4 equal pieces and shape each piece into a small bowl using the muffin tin. Bake for 8-10 minutes, or until golden brown and crispy.
5.Remove the tortilla nests from the muffin tin and let cool.
6.Serve the ceviche in the tortilla nests and sprinkle with Emeril's Original Essence or Creole Essence/Bayou Blast to taste.
