Prepare the Ceviche
- Chop the Fish: Cut the tuna into ½-inch cubes and place in a medium bowl.

- Discard Lime Juice: After marinating, discard the lime juice from the bowl.
Combine Ingredients

- Add Olive Oil and Lime Juice: Drizzle in the olive oil and add the fresh lime juice. Taste and adjust seasoning with more salt if necessary.
Garnish: Garnish with fresh cilantro leaves.
Prepare Plantain Chips
- Slice Plantains: Use a mandolin to thinly slice the plantains.
- Fry Plantains: Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Fry the plantain slices in batches until golden brown and crispy. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate to drain and sprinkle with salt.
