Step-by-Step Instructions

Marinate flank or skirt steak in lime juice, garlic, and spices for at least 30 minutes. Preheat grill to medium-high (450°F). Grill steak for 6-8 minutes per side until internal temperature reaches 135°F.
Remove steak from grill and let rest for 5-10 minutes covered with aluminum foil.
While resting, cut avocados in half and mash in a bowl with lime juice, salt, and pepper.
Warm tortillas on the grill for about 30 seconds per side or in the oven at 350°F for 10-15 minutes.
Assemble tacos by spreading mashed avocado on a tortilla, topping with chopped carne asada, cotija cheese, onion, and cilantro.
Finish by squeezing fresh lime juice over tacos and serve with extra lime wedges and salsa.
