Whisk the marinade until well combined.

Preheat the grill and clean it with half a white onion.

Place the marinated beef on the hot grill and cook for 6-8 minutes per side until reaching an internal temperature of 150 degrees for medium well.

Remove the beef from the grill and let it rest for 10 minutes before slicing against the grain.

Warm the corn tortillas on the grill or make them yourself.

Assemble the tacos by adding sliced beef, chopped white onion, chopped cilantro, drizzling lime juice, and spooning salsa on top, finishing with avocado slices.
