Instructions

Prepare the avocado salsa by blending tomatillos, onion, garlic, jalapeño, water, cilantro, lime juice, oregano, and salt in a mixing bowl until smooth.
Marinate the steak in a mixture of orange juice, lime juice, cilantro, paprika, salt, onion powder, black pepper, smoked paprika, cumin, and oregano for at least 15 minutes.
Preheat your grill or cast iron skillet over medium-high heat with avocado oil. Grill the marinated steak for about 4–5 minutes per side until desired doneness is reached. Allow resting before slicing.
Warm corn tortillas on the grill or skillet. Fill each tortilla with sliced steak and top with avocado salsa.
