Instructions

  1. Step 1

    Heat 1 tbsp oil in a large skillet over medium-high. Add onion and cook until soft and golden, about 5 minutes. Remove to a plate.

  2. Step 2

    Add remaining oil to the skillet. Season beef with salt and sear in a single layer until browned, about 2 minutes per side. Work in batches if needed.

  3. Step 3

    Return onions to the skillet with the beef. Stir to combine and warm through, about 1 minute.

  4. Step 4

    Warm tortillas in a dry pan over medium heat for 30 seconds per side, or wrap in foil and heat in a 350°F oven for 10 minutes.

  5. Step 5

    Fill each tortilla with beef-onion mixture, top with orange segments and shredded lettuce. Serve with lime wedges to squeeze over.

  6. Step 6

    Optional: add a pinch of cumin or chili powder to the beef while cooking for extra warmth.
