Tiradito with Tucupi Aguachile

A super refreshing mix between northern Brazil and Latin America! A perfect dish for hot summer days—a light dinner or a perfect appetizer to impress your guests! Serve it with chips, green salad, and a tropical fruit or citric cocktail for the most refreshing meal. Here we used pickled red onions and pickled maroon cucumber, yet feel free to choose any other pickles you prefer, such as carrots, beets, or cucumber.
