Begin by making the marinade in a blender.

Add 5 chipotle peppers in adobo sauce, 1 teaspoon honey, 5 garlic cloves, a handful of cilantro, 1/3 cup avocado oil, and 1/3 cup freshly squeezed lime juice to the blender.

Add 1 tablespoon of Maggi seasoning or soy sauce, 1 tablespoon ground cumin, 2 teaspoons salt, 2 teaspoons chipotle powder, 2 teaspoons coriander powder, 1 teaspoon chili powder, 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon, and 1/4 teaspoon ground clove to the blender.

Blend the marinade until smooth.

Pour the marinade over 2.5 lbs of flank steak, cut into small pieces, making sure to coat the meat well.

Cover and allow the meat to marinate for at least 4 hours.

Heat a skillet over medium heat and add a little oil.

Add the marinated meat to the skillet in batches, ensuring not to overcrowd the skillet.

Cook the meat for about 2 minutes, then remove it from the skillet once fully cooked and repeat with the remaining meat.

Once all the meat is cooked, prepare to serve it in tacos.

Assemble the tacos by placing the cooked meat in corn tortillas, topping with cilantro, onion, salsa, and a layer of avocado.
