Ecuadorian Ceviche
Originating from the coastal regions of Ecuador, ceviche is a popular and refreshing seafood dish that is perfect for warm weather. This dish typically consists of fresh raw fish marinated in citrus juices, such as lemon or lime, and mixed with various seasonings, vegetables, and herbs.
Each country in Latin America puts its own twist on ceviche, and in Ecuador, it's commonly served with plantain chips or popcorn on the side for a delightful crunch.

- 1 green pepper, finely chopped
- 1/2 cup fresh coriander, chopped

Instructions:
- In a bowl, combine the fish, onion, tomatoes, green pepper, and coriander.
