Step 1
Slice steak against the grain into 1/4-inch-thick strips.
Step 2
Mix lime juice, minced garlic, cumin, salt, and pepper in a bowl. Add beef and toss to coat evenly.
Step 3
Let meat marinate at room temperature while you prepare everything else, 5 minutes minimum.
Step 4
Heat a large skillet over medium-high until it shimmers, about 90 seconds.
Step 5
Add beef in a single layer and sear without stirring for 2 minutes until edges brown and char.
Step 6
Stir and cook another 2–3 minutes until meat is cooked through but still juicy. Transfer to a plate.
Step 7
Warm tortillas in the skillet for 20 seconds per side until pliable.
Step 8
Lay a tortilla flat, add 2–3 tbsp beef down the center, top with cilantro.
Step 9
Fold sides in, then roll tightly away from you. Repeat with remaining tortillas.
Step 10
Serve immediately with lime wedges on the side.
