Place the (1 lb) flank steak in a resealable bag and pour the marinade over it. Seal the bag, ensuring the steak is well coated, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or up to 2 hours for more flavor.

Preheat your grill or skillet over medium-high heat. Remove the steak from the marinade and discard any excess marinade.

Cook the steak for about 5-7 minutes on each side for medium-rare, or until desired doneness is reached. Use a meat thermometer to check for an internal temperature of 135°F for medium-rare.

Once cooked, remove the steak from the heat and let it rest for 5-10 minutes before slicing it against the grain into thin strips.

While the steak rests, warm the (4) corn tortillas on the grill or in a skillet for about 30 seconds on each side until pliable.

Assemble the tacos by placing slices of steak on each tortilla. Top with (1/2 cup) diced tomatoes, (1/4 cup) chopped cilantro, (1/4 cup) diced red onion, and (1) sliced avocado.
