Equipment
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 3 lbs flank or skirt steak thinly sliced and chopped into bite-size pieces
- 1 large onion chopped
- 2 fresh limes juiced (plus extra wedges for serving)
- 1 bunch of cilantro chopped
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon pepper
- 4 tablespoons butter
- 16 mini corn tortillas
Instructions
- Prepare the Steak: In a large skillet, heat the vegetable oil over medium heat. Add the steak and half of the chopped onions. Cook until the onions are soft and the steak is browned.
- Season: Sprinkle salt and pepper over the steak. Squeeze the juice of two limes over the steak and onions. Continue cooking until the steak is thoroughly cooked.
- Prepare Tortillas: In another skillet, melt the butter. Lightly fry the mini corn tortillas until soft, about 1 minute on each side. Allow them to cool slightly before assembling.
- Assemble Tacos: Double up the mini tortillas for each taco. Spoon the steak mixture onto the tortillas. Top with the remaining fresh onions and chopped cilantro.
- Serve: Garnish with additional lime wedges and serve immediately.
