- 2 tablespoons sesame seeds, toasted (see Tips)
- 1/4 cup sliced pitted kalamata olives
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper
- Fresh cilantro, for serving, optional

- Add the vinaigrette and toss gently to combine.
- Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Divide the ceviche among chilled bowls, sprinkle with cilantro, if desired, and serve with grilled tostadas.
- Seafood is easiest to dice when it is partially frozen; this also makes for a much cleaned presentation.
- Use a very sharp knife.
- To toast the sesame seeds, add them to a small skillet set over medium-low heat and cook, stirring frequently, until toasted and fragrant, about 3 minutes.
- As for the grilled tostadas, just throw a couple of corn tortillas on a outdoor grill,or on a grill pan, and let them dry out over medium heat until they are nice and crunchy.
- Tear them into large pieces to serve.
