Ingredients
  

  • 8 oz thin steak (flank, skirt, or sabanita)
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/2 teaspoon chili powder
  • 2 eggs (optional)
  • 4 small tortillas (corn or flour)
  • Refried beans (optional)
  • Pico de gallo or salsa
  • Fresh cilantro for garnish
  • Lime wedges

Instructions
 

  • Season the Steak: Rub the thin steak with salt, pepper, and chili powder. Let it rest for a few minutes to absorb flavors.
    Sear the Steak: Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high. Place the steak in the pan and cook for about 1–2 minutes per side, depending on thickness.
    Optional Eggs: In the same skillet, fry or scramble the eggs to your desired doneness.
    Warm the Tortillas: Briefly heat tortillas in a dry pan or microwave until soft and pliable.
    Assemble: Layer refried beans (if using), steak slices, and eggs on the tortillas. Top with pico de gallo (or salsa) and garnish with cilantro.
    Finish: Serve with lime wedges on the side for a bright citrus kick. Enjoy immediately.
