  • Look for fresh Vienna sausages when making this dish.
  • If you want to reduce the heat, use a milder jalapeno or remove the seeds.

  • Substitute the frankfurters for smoked sausage, such as kielbasa. This substitution will add a smoky flavor to the ceviche, which can be a nice contrast to the other ingredients.
  • Substitute the jalapeno for a milder pepper, such as a poblano. This substitution will reduce the heat of the dish, making it more accessible to people who don't like spicy food.

Southwestern Style Replace the frankfurters with cooked chicken or shrimp. Add 1/2 cup of corn and 1/2 cup of black beans to the mixture. Replace the jalapeno with a can of diced green chiles, drained. Replace the cilantro with 1/4 cup of chopped fresh parsley.



Mexican Street Corn Salad - This creamy and crunchy salad is a perfect accompaniment to the Frankfurter Ceviche. The sweetness of the corn and the creaminess of the mayonnaise and cheese balance out the spiciness of the jalapeno in the ceviche.


Chilean-Style Grilled Shrimp: This grilled shrimp dish is a great way to add a touch of smoky flavor to the meal. The grilled shrimp is marinated in a mixture of garlic, lime juice, and chili powder, giving it a spicy kick that complements the flavors in the Frankfurter Ceviche. The shrimp is also served with a side of avocado slices, adding a creamy texture to the meal.
