Step 1
Pat beef dry with paper towels. Season generously with salt, pepper, and chipotle powder on all sides.
Step 2
Heat 2 tbsp oil in a 12-inch cast iron skillet over medium-high until it shimmers, about 90 seconds.
Step 3
Sear beef 2 minutes per side without moving. Edges should be golden brown; don't flip more than once. Transfer to a plate.
Step 4
Add onion and jalapeño to the same skillet, cut-side down. Sear 3 minutes until charred, then scatter garlic over top.
Step 5
Stir for 30 seconds until garlic is fragrant. Pour in lime juice, scrape up browned bits, then return beef to the pan.
Step 6
Top with cotija and cilantro. Serve immediately with lime zest scattered over and warm tortillas on the side.
