Steps

1. 1

   Begin by arranging the fish in a medium-sized glass dish or bowl. Season it with sea salt and freshly ground black pepper. Drizzle lime juice, lemon juice, and sugar over the fish, then gently mix everything together. Cover the dish and refrigerate the fish for a minimum of 4 hours, ensuring to toss it occasionally until it turns white and loses its raw appearance. You can leave it to marinate for up to 6 hours if desired.

2. 2

   Begin by draining the fish and disposing of the marinade. Transfer the ceviche to a spacious bowl and combine it with tomatoes, red onion, pickled jalapeños, 1 tablespoon of liquid from the jar, and olive oil. Toss everything together until well mixed. This dish can be prepared in advance up to 2 hours. Simply cover it and refrigerate until ready to serve.

3. 3

   Combine the lettuce, avocado, and cilantro with the ceviche mixture, tossing everything together. Fill each taco shell with the prepared ceviche mixture. Finish by topping each taco with a generous spoonful of salsa before serving.
