About this recipe

Tiradito is a very popular dish in Peruvian cuisine, though it has also been adopted and adapted into Mexican cuisine. It is a raw dish, similar to ceviche, but with notable differences in its preparation and presentation. In tiradito, the fish is cut into thin slices, in the style of Japanese sashimi, and is served with a variety of citrus and spicy sauces, which can include lemon, lime, yellow chili pepper, among other ingredients.

This is a vegan tiradito made with hearts of palm and avocado. It’s very easy to prepare, deliciously fresh, and light in flavor, and it’s a very tasty option, especially in the warmer months.
