Ingredients:

- 1 red onion, thinly sliced
- 1 red chili, finely chopped
- 1/4 cup fresh cilantro, chopped
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- For Serving:
- 1 sweet potato, boiled and sliced
Instructions:
- Marinate the Fish:
- In a medium bowl, combine the diced fish with lime juice, ensuring all pieces are well-coated. Add the red onion, chili, and cilantro. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Gently stir to combine and let the mixture marinate for 15-20 minutes, allowing the lime juice to "cook" the fish.

Tips for Success:
- Use Fresh Fish: The key to great ceviche is the freshest fish possible. Ensure it’s sushi-grade if eating raw.
- Balance the Lime: Adjust the lime juice to your taste””too much can overpower the dish.
- Optional Additions: Include corn kernels or lettuce leaves for added texture and authenticity.
Wine, Cocktail, Drink Pairing:
- Pair this dish with a crisp Sauvignon Blanc, a Pisco Sour, or a light sparkling water with lime for a refreshing complement to the citrusy flavors.
