Cooking the dish according to the recipe:

Sprinkle the fish with 1/2 teaspoon of salt and a few turns of black pepper. Heat oil in a large skillet over high heat. Add the fish and cook, turning once, until golden brown and cooked through, about 8 minutes. Let the fish cool, then flake with a fork. Toss the fish with the oil from the skillet along with the cilantro, lime juice, Worcestershire sauce, jalapeño, onion, 1 teaspoon of salt, and a few turns of black pepper. Cover and refrigerate until ready to serve, or for up to 8 hours.
Wipe out the skillet and heat over medium-high heat. Add the tortillas and cook a few at a time, turning once, for about 30 seconds per side. Stack the tortillas as they cook and cover with a kitchen towel.
