1. Combine all the ingredients in a nonreactive bowl and stir to mix well. Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, and up to 1
2. Spoon the ceviche into small (4-ounce) glasses and garnish with cilantro.
3. Just what is a nonreactive bowl anyway? A nonreactive bowl is made from a nonreactive material, such as glaze-free ceramics, glass, stainless steel, or plastic (but we are trying to retire our plastics, right, unless made from recycled plastic). Reactive materials are aluminum and unlined copper, which react to foods with high acid content, like tomatoes. Have you ever wrapped a tomato in aluminum foil and looked it at the next day? The acid burns right through the aluminum, which gives the tomato a metallic taste. (It's best not to try leaving tomatoes in one of your good copper bowls.)
