  • kosher salt, to taste

Chipotle Sour Cream

  • 8 oz. sour cream; 7 oz. canned chipotle

Technique

Mix ceviche ingredients well and chill 1 hour to allow flavors to blend and citric acid to start cooking the fish. Blend chipotle sour cream ingredients. Heat oil in heavy pot to 350°. Fry plantain chips 2–3 minutes, until golden brown, then remove and drain on paper towel. Place plantain on cutting board and use a spatula to press plantain chip flat. Fry again until crisp, 3–5 minutes. Drain and season with salt.
