Beetroot Tostadas
Bring a large pan of water to a simmer. Add the beetroots and cook for about 40-45 minutes, until a knife just slips into them easily – if they are a little on the hard side that’s better than being a little on the soft side. Once cool, slip the skins off with your hands and finely dice the beetroots.
Put the onion, beetroots and chilli in a bowl. Cover with the lime and orange juices and season generously with salt. Mix everything together and let the mixture sit for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavours to mingle. Drain off the liquid and then gently stir in the chopped coriander leaves.
To assemble the tostadas, smear some refried beans on a tostada and top this with a spoon of the beetroot mixture. Top with all the other garnishes and eat, leaning well over your plate as it’s impossible not to make a mess.
COOK'S TIP: You can serve the ceviche as an elegant lunch dish in individual bowls with saltine crackers or tostadas in a basket on the side. Spoon the ceviche onto the cracker or tostada, add salsa and eat.
