Marinate flap meat in fajita marinade for 24 hours, turning it occasionally in the refrigerator.

Preheat the grill on high for 15 minutes.

Spray cooking spray on green onions and jalapeno pepper, then place them on the grill.

Place soft corn tortillas on the top rack of the grill to warm them up, spraying a little cooking spray between each one.

Grill the flap meat for a few minutes on each side for rare, or 5 to 7 minutes on each side for well done, closing the lid for a couple of minutes during cooking.

Turn the meat to check for juices coming out and ensure it's cooked to desired doneness.

Remove the meat, jalapeno, and onions from the grill and let them rest at room temperature for a few minutes before cutting.

Cut the grilled meat into small cubes against the grain.

Assemble the tacos by placing a bit of meat in each tortilla, adding fine diced white onion, rough chopped cilantro, and topping with fresh avocado salsa.

Finish by squeezing fresh lime juice over the tacos and serve with grilled jalapeno and green onions.
