Start by making the Chipotle sesame adobo sauce using a blender.

Add 2 chipotles in adobo to the blender.

Pour in 2 tsp of toasted sesame oil.

Add 2 cloves of freshly minced garlic.

Include 1 tbsp of toasted sesame seeds.

Add 1 tbsp of peanut butter for creaminess.

Pour in 3 tbsp of avocado oil to help blend.

Add 1 tbsp of distilled white vinegar for acidity.

Squeeze in 2 tbsp of lime juice from one juicy lime.

Add 1 tbsp of soy sauce or tamari for umami flavor.

Season with a pinch of salt and a dash of pepper.

Blend the sauce until smooth and set aside.

Dice the flap steak into small pieces, about 1/4 inch in size.

Heat a heavy-bottom skillet over medium-high heat and add a little avocado oil.

Add the diced steak to the skillet and season with salt, pepper, cumin, and paprika.

Spread the steak in a single layer and let it sear without stirring for about 3 minutes.

After 3 minutes, toss the steak and continue cooking for 2-3 more minutes until no longer pink.

Lower the heat and pour a touch of the Chipotle sesame adobo sauce over the steak to coat it.

Warm the 6-inch flour tortillas over an open flame for a charred effect.

Assemble the tacos by adding the cooked steak to the tortillas, drizzling with more sauce, and topping with avocado slices.

Serve immediately.
