More decadent than your classic citrus-based ceviche, this dish features tuna marinated in a coconut leche de tigre, garnished with cucumber, radish, Fresno chilies, avocado, and red onion, crowned with micro mint and toasted coconut, and finally drizzled with orange blossom honey. A hearty portion of corn tortilla chips and plantain chips ensure not a drop will be left behind.
