This ceviche de atún recipe is the perfect affordable, no-cook dish you can whip up in 15 minutes or less! It uses ingredients you likely already have on hand, and it's a great way to use up the veggies in your fridge before they go bad.
Ingredients
- 2 5-oz cans tuna drained
- ½ medium red onion diced
- 1 cucumber diced

- Salt and black pepper to taste
Optional
- Chile serrano sliced, for garnish
- Avocado
- Galletas Saladitas (saltine crackers) for serving
Instructions
- Drain tuna well (whether canned in water or oil). Place in a medium-sized bowl and flake with a fork.
- Mix the diced onion, cucumber, tomato, and cilantro in with the flaked tuna.
- Stir the lime juice into the tuna mixture. Mix until evenly coated.

Notes
Note that one serving of this ceviche alone isn't enough to serve as a meal.
We suggest adding avocado and a whole grain like tostadas to make this more appropriate for a meal.
