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.
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.
Step 3
Return onions to the skillet with the beef. Stir to combine and warm through, about 1 minute.
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.
Step 5
Fill each tortilla with beef-onion mixture, top with orange segments and shredded lettuce. Serve with lime wedges to squeeze over.
Step 6
Optional: add a pinch of cumin or chili powder to the beef while cooking for extra warmth.
