About the vegan ceviche tostada recipe

This recipe for vegan ceviche tostada is inspired by one of those trips. The vast difference is that the ones I ate as a kid had fish and other types of seafood.

I love using the quinoa and the cauliflower together because they give ceviche the perfect texture in every bite. And with the crunchiness of the carrots and the spiciness of the jalapeño chili pepper, this ceviche is a dream.

Ingredients

  • Cauliflower. Cauliflower is one of the most versatile vegetables there can be. It can be eaten raw (aguachile), roasted (with crispy chili), in sandwiches (cauliflower banh-mi), soup (cauliflower soup), tacos (roasted cauliflower tacos), and well cauliflower is the perfect substitute for fish in ceviche.
  • Carrot. Dice the carrots so eating the bite gets a boost of flavor and texture from them. Sub with diced seeded cucumbers; use English or Persian cucumbers to make this recipe faster.
  • Quinoa. Apart from giving volume to the ceviche, it also adds tons of nutritional value.
  • Cilantro, jalapeño, lime juice, and onion. These because every Mexican dish, vegan or not, must have some of these ingredients. Feel free to substitute the jalapeño pepper for chile serrano.

How to make the quinoa cauliflower ceviche tostadas?

When preparing this dish, I like to add the chopped onion and the lime juice first. The lime juice will take away the spiciness of the red onion and will make the dish flavorful.

Then add the cooked and cooled quinoa, the diced carrots, cauliflower florets, and the rest of the ingredients and mix carefully. Season, taste, and adjust if needed.

Who is this vegan cauliflower ceviche for?

Adults, children, pregnant women, and those allergic to fish or shellfish. You can give it to the whole family without food poisoning danger; the fish is bad or old or full of mercury.

tips, and tricks for the best quinoa cauliflower ceviche

  • Other ingredients. You could add many ingredients to the vegan ceviche: mushrooms, hearts of palm, and diced fruits, and all of them are incredibly delicious, but this quinoa and cauliflower ceviche is definitely my favorite.
  • If you’re missing the fishiness of fresh and authentic ceviche, you could season it with seaweed power or toasted nori.
  • Quinoa. Keep a container of quinoa in your fridge. This ceviche comes together quickly if you have cooked quinoa in your fridge.
  • Serve. This recipe will be perfect on tostadas (hard corn tortillas that can be fried or baked); with corn tortilla chips, it is ideal for stuffing an avocado or a poblano chile. If you wish, spread a little bit of vegan mayo on the tostada and finish it with an avocado slice.
