Grilled Skirt Steak Tacos with Spicy Red Onion Guacamole

Yesterday I told you all about the wonderful food I served at a dinner party with some of our friends and family.  And I mentioned that we served this delicious steak and guacamole.  My four-year old was running in and out of the house and every time she came in she grab a slice of steak of the counter and ran back outside with it.  And when I caught her red-handed she told me it was just too good.  What a silly little girl, but oh was she right.  This steak is just too good.

The only thing I did different from the original recipe was that I marinated it longer.  Because of time constraints I had to prepare it earlier in the day.

The original recipe is delicious the way it is, but of course I like to add all the traditional taco fixings; lettuce, cheese, tomatoes, etc.  And of course the guacamole is great with chips just as you would expect.  Either way you are going to want to grill this up for dinner tonight.

Directions:

Rub the steak with chipotle powder and 1/2 teaspoon salt.  In a large resealable plastic bag, mix 3 tablespoons of the lime juice and the oil.  Add the steak, seal the bag and marinate 15 to 30 minutes. (or longer)

Meanwhile, in a medium bowl; mash the avocado with remaining 1 tablespoon lime juice, the cilantro, jalapeno, and 1 teaspoon salt. Cover and refrigerate.

Heat grill to high. Just before serving, remove steak and pat dry; discard marinade. Grill steaks to medium-rare, about 2 minutes per side. On a board, thinly slice the steak against the grain; serve on tortillas, topped with guacamole.
