For the Avocado Salsa:

½ yellow onion (sliced in half)
2 cloves garlic (skins peeled)
1 jalapeño (sliced in half, seeds removed for mild heat)

Instructions

Prepare the marinade by mixing avocado oil, orange juice, lime juice, paprika, kosher salt, onion powder, black pepper, smoked paprika, ground cumin, and dry oregano in a bowl. Marinate the skirt steak for at least 15 minutes.
Blend tomatillos, yellow onion halves, garlic cloves, jalapeño slices, water, cilantro leaves, lime juice, dry oregano, and kosher salt using a food processor until smooth to create the avocado salsa. Fold in diced avocado.
Preheat the grill over medium-high heat and cook the marinated steak for 3-4 minutes on each side until desired doneness is reached.
Warm corn tortillas on the grill for about 30 seconds on each side.
Assemble tacos by placing sliced steak on tortillas and topping with avocado salsa and chopped onions.
