Step 1
Heat a skillet over medium-high until very hot, about 90 seconds. Pat the steak dry and season generously with salt and pepper.
Step 2
Sear the steak 60–90 seconds per side without stirring. Transfer to a plate.
Step 3
Lay one tortilla flat in the skillet. Layer half the cheese, then steak, onion, jalapeño, and remaining cheese. Top with second tortilla.
Step 4
Cook 2–3 minutes until the bottom tortilla is golden and crispy, pressing gently with a spatula.
Step 5
Flip the mulita and cook the other side 1–2 minutes until golden and cheese is fully melted.
Step 6
Slide onto a cutting board, cut into triangles, and serve immediately with lime wedges.
