The fresh lime juice blended with cilantro, mint, and pepitas adds richness to this ceviche verde. Pour the salsa over the fish—I like halibut or sea bass here—allowing it to marinate and develop layers of flavor. The choice is yours—marinate for 10 minutes for a delicately tender result or extend to 30 minutes for a firmer texture on the fish. Spoon the ceviche onto baked tostadas and garnish with pepitas for a satisfying crunch.

If you have time, laying out the tortillas overnight at room temperature helps remove moisture and makes the tostadas more sturdy for baking.
