Step 1
Place beef chunks, halved onion, and garlic cloves in a heavy pot. Cover with water, season with salt and pepper.
Step 2
Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low. Simmer uncovered for 60–75 minutes until beef shreds easily with a fork.
Step 3
Drain beef in a colander, reserving 1 cup of cooking liquid. Once cool enough to handle, shred beef into bite-sized pieces.
Step 4
Heat 2 tbsp oil in a large skillet over medium-high until it shimmers, about 1 minute.
Step 5
Add shredded beef and cook without stirring for 2 minutes until bottom starts to brown and char.
Step 6
Stir, breaking up any clumps, and continue cooking 3–4 minutes until edges are golden and crispy.
Step 7
Warm tortillas in a dry skillet or over a gas flame for 15 seconds per side until pliable.
Step 8
Fill each tortilla with beef, top with diced onion and cilantro, then squeeze fresh lime juice over top. Serve hot.
