How to Make Tacos Al Carbon With Avocado Salsa

  1. Sprinkle 1 lb flank steak lightly with 1 tsp seasoning salt.
  2. Cut the steak into 3-4 large pieces.
  3. In a bowl, whisk together ¼ cup lime juice, 2 tbsp lemon juice, 4 cloves minced garlic, ½ cup chopped cilantro, and 2 tbsp olive oil.
  4. Place the steak and marinade in a resealable plastic bag or plastic bowl.
  5. Marinate in the refrigerator for 4-6 hours, turning occasionally.
  6. Discard the marinade before grilling.
  7. Preheat grill to medium heat. Grill the steak for 15 minutes per side, or until desired doneness is reached (15 minutes per side will result in medium-rare).
  8. Remove from grill and let rest for 5 minutes before slicing into thin strips.
  9. While the steak rests, prepare the avocado salsa (see below).
  10. Warm the corn tortillas. You can wrap them in foil and place them on the grill for a minute or two, or microwave them wrapped in a damp paper towel for 30-45 seconds.
  11. Fill each tortilla with the grilled steak strips and top with 1-2 tablespoons of avocado salsa.
  12. Serve immediately and enjoy!
  13. **Avocado Salsa:**
  14. Combine 2 ripe avocados, ½ cup chopped red onion, ½ cup chopped cilantro, ¼ cup chopped jalapeño (remove seeds for less heat), 2 tbsp lime juice, and ½ tsp seasoning salt in a bowl.
  15. Gently mash with a fork until desired consistency is reached. (Leave avocado pits in the mixture to prevent browning.)
