Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 tablespoons avocado oil
  • 1 pound tomatillos (husks peeled and rinsed well)
  • ½ yellow onion (sliced in half)
  • 2 cloves garlic (skins peeled)
  • 1 jalapeño (sliced in half, seeds removed for mild heat)
  • ¼ cup water
  • ¼ cup fresh cilantro
  • Juice of 1 lime (around 2 tablespoons, plus more to taste)
  • ½ teaspoon dry oregano
  • 1 ripe avocado
  • 16 ounces skirt steak (cut into 6-inch sections, substitute flap steak or flank steak)
  • Juice of 1 orange (around ¼ cup)
  • Juice of 1 large lime (around 2 tablespoons)
  • ½ cup finely chopped fresh cilantro (divided in half)
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • ½ teaspoon freshly-cracked black pepper
  • ½ teaspoon smoked paprika
  • ½ teaspoon ground cumin
  • ½ teaspoon dry oregano
  • 2 tablespoons avocado oil (for serving)
  • 6 green onions
  • 6 corn tortillas
  • ¼ cup finely chopped white onion (for serving)

Instructions

  1. In a blender or food processor, combine tomatillos, yellow onion, garlic, jalapeño, water, cilantro, lime juice, oregano, and salt. Blend until smooth. Adjust seasoning as needed. Set aside.
  2. In a mixing bowl, whisk together orange juice, lime juice, cilantro (reserve half), paprika, kosher salt, onion powder, black pepper, smoked paprika, ground cumin, and dry oregano. Add skirt steak to the marinade. Let it sit for at least 20 minutes.
  3. Preheat your cast iron skillet or grill over medium-high heat. Add avocado oil and place the marinated steak on the hot surface. Cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side for medium-rare or until desired doneness is reached. Remove from heat and let rest before slicing against the grain.
  4. Warm corn tortillas on a skillet until pliable. Slice rested steak into thin strips and place on tortillas. Top each taco with avocado salsa and garnish with chopped green onions and white onion.
