Ceviche de Pulpo en Tostada
Because summer time equals ceviche time.
It's the summer, and to me that means ceviche season. This refreshing octopus ceviche, or ceviche de pulpo en tostada, is basically a decadent octopus salpicón topped on a corn tortilla. It's light, crunchy and delightful. But make sure to cook the octopus before dicing and mixing with the rest of the ingredients!

- 8 lemons juiced
- 1/2 cup cilantro chopped
- 2 serrano chiles finely chopped

- 1/4 cup olive oil
- salt to taste
- 1 bag corn tostadas of your choice
