Step 3: Cook the Steak
- In the same skillet, add the marinated steak in a single layer. You may need to cook in batches to avoid overcrowding.
- Sear the steak for 2–3 minutes on each side, or until it reaches your desired level of doneness.
- Return the cooked vegetables to the skillet and toss everything together for 1–2 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld.
Step 4: Warm the Tortillas
- While the steak and vegetables finish cooking, warm your tortillas in a dry skillet over medium heat for about 30 seconds per side, or wrap them in foil and heat them in the oven at 350°F (175°C) for 5–7 minutes.
Step 5: Assemble and Serve
- Place a portion of the steak and vegetable mixture on each tortilla.
- Add your favorite toppings: sour cream, guacamole, salsa, or shredded cheese.
- Fold the tortilla over the filling and serve immediately while still sizzling.
Pro Tip: For an extra flavor boost, squeeze a little lime juice over the top just before serving.
