Preheat your oven to 190°C (375°F) and lightly grease a 9x13-inch baking dish.
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the garlic, onion, and red bell pepper, and sauté for 3-4 minutes until softened.
Add the shrimp, chopped white fish, and crab meat to the skillet. Cook for 4-5 minutes until the shrimp turns pink and the fish is cooked through. Remove the seafood from the skillet and set aside.
In the same skillet, add the canned diced tomatoes with their juice, tomato paste, ground cumin, smoked paprika, chili powder, salt, and black pepper. Simmer for 5 minutes to thicken the sauce slightly.
Stir in the heavy cream and chopped cilantro, then return the seafood mixture to the skillet. Mix well and remove from heat.
To assemble the lasagna, place a layer of tortillas at the bottom of the prepared baking dish, tearing them as needed to cover the surface.
Spread a third of the seafood mixture over the tortillas, then sprinkle a mix of mozzarella and cheddar cheese on top.
Repeat the layers of tortillas, seafood mixture, and cheese until all ingredients are used, finishing with a generous layer of cheese on top.
Cover the dish with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for 25 minutes. Remove the foil and bake for another 10-15 minutes until the cheese is golden and bubbly.
Let the tortilla lasagna rest for 5 minutes before slicing. Garnish with lime wedges and extra chopped cilantro, if desired.
