Start by preparing your ingredients: Finely dice the red onion, jalapeño pepper (removing seeds if desired), and the tomato. Roughly chop the cilantro and set aside.
Juice the limes, lemon, and orange in a small bowl. Make sure there are no seeds.
Cut the tuna into small 1/4-inch cubes. Place the tuna in a mixing bowl.
Pour the citrus juice over the tuna and gently stir to ensure all the tuna is coated. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 15 minutes to marinate.
After marinating, add the diced red onion, jalapeño, chopped cilantro, tomato, salt, and black pepper to the tuna. Gently mix to combine all ingredients.
Peel and dice the avocado into similar-sized pieces as the tuna. Add the avocado and olive oil to the tuna mixture. Gently fold everything together, being careful not to mash the avocado.
Taste and adjust seasoning with additional salt or pepper as needed.
Serve immediately, garnished with extra cilantro if desired. Use tortilla chips, lettuce cups, or soft tacos as serving vessels, or enjoy it on its own.
