Cut the skin off the Naval oranges to get just the flesh and juice.

Juice the oranges into a blender.

Add two limes to the blender.

Cut half an onion and add it to the blender.

Cut the tops off three jalapenos, slice them in half, and remove the seeds.

Add garlic salt, paprika, turmeric, and fresh pepper to the blender.

Grate Panella into the blender using a microplane, or substitute with brown sugar if unavailable.

Add oil to the blender and blend the marinade until well mixed.

Cut the flap meat into manageable pieces and place them in the marinade, ensuring they are well coated.

Marinate the meat in the fridge overnight.

Preheat the grill to high heat.

Grill the meat with the top open for about 4-5 minutes on each side, aiming for char on the outside and a little pink in the middle.

Once grilled, cover the meat with foil to let it rest while staying hot.

Wrap the corn tortillas in a slightly damp paper towel and place them in a quart bag, leaving it open.

Microwave the tortillas for 15 seconds, flip them, and microwave for another 15 seconds.

Cut the rested meat against the grain into slices.

Assemble the tacos by placing a small amount of meat on each tortilla.

Top the tacos with a little Crema, diced white onion, and green onion for garnish.
