- 2 teaspoons ground cumin
- 1/2 cup orange juice
- 1/3 cup red wine vinegar
- 2 teaspoons sea salt
- 1/4 cup chopped cilantro, for serving

- Toast chilies in a dry pan over medium heat until fragrant. Fill a container with hot water from the tap and soak the chilies in the water for 15 minutes, or until soft.
- Add chilies, onions, garlic, cumin, orange juice, vinegar, oil and salt to a blender. Blend until a paste forms, using the soaking liquid from the chilies as needed to loosen the mixture.
- Place meat in a ziplock bag or shallow pan and cover with marinade. Spend a few minutes massaging the marinade in, seal bag or cover pan, place in fridge and allow to marinate for 4 hours or overnight (overnight is better).
- Preheat a grill over medium heat. Grill meat to desired doneness. Rest on a tray tented with aluminum foil for 10 minutes before slicing. Slice and serve on corn tortillas with onion, cilantro, sliced avocado and salsa verde. Serve with lime wedges.
- Place all ingredients in a blender and blend until very smooth, add water if necessary to thin salsa.
