- Tomato (1 medium, diced)

Instructions
- Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.
- Season the salmon fillets generously with taco seasoning, salt, and pepper.

- Place the salmon on the grill and cook for 4-5 minutes per side, or until the salmon is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork.
- Once cooked, remove the salmon from the grill and let it rest for a few minutes before flaking it into bite-sized pieces.
- In a mixing bowl, combine the diced avocado, tomato, red onion, cilantro, lime juice, salt, and pepper to make the avocado salsa. Mix gently to combine.
- Warm the flour tortillas either on the grill for about 30 seconds per side or in a skillet over medium heat until pliable.

- Serve the salmon tacos with additional lime wedges on the side for an extra citrusy kick.
