Steak and Onion Tacos with Chipotle Guacamole

By jeaklor

Chipotle chiles add a spicy kick to the guacamole
in these tacos, but you can decrease the heat
by cutting back on the chiles. For the tastiest
guacamole, use plump, ripe avocadoes that yield
to soft pressure. If you can only find firm ones,
buy them in advance and let them ripen for a day
or two on the counter.

Ingredients

• 2 chipotle chiles in adobo sauce, mashed, divided, or to taste*
• 4 teaspoons adobo sauce, divided*
• 4 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro, divided
• 2 tablespoons canola oil
