Instructions

  1. Step 1

    Heat 1 tbsp oil in a large skillet over medium-high until it shimmers, ~90 seconds.

  2. Step 2

    Add onion slices and cook, stirring occasionally, until golden and soft, ~8 minutes.

  3. Step 3

    Push onions to the side. Add beef in a single layer and cook without stirring for 2 minutes.

  4. Step 4

    Stir beef and onions together, cooking until beef is browned and edges crisp, ~4 minutes.

  5. Step 5

    Season generously with salt and pepper. Warm tortillas in a dry skillet 30 seconds per side.

  6. Step 6

    Fill each tortilla with beef mixture. Top with cilantro and serve with lime wedges.
