  • 1 pound skirt steak, diced into 1-inch pieces
  • 1 tablespoon vegetable oil For cooking
  • 1 large onion, thinly sliced
  • 4 large flour tortillas
  • 2 cups shredded cheese (cheddar or a blend) Use a good quality cheese that melts well
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Sour cream and salsa for serving (optional) For dipping

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Heat the vegetable oil in a skillet over medium-high heat.

  3. In the same skillet, add the sliced onions and cook until caramelized.
Cooking

Notes

Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to three days. To reheat, heat in a skillet over medium until warm and crispy. For longer storage, freeze them well-wrapped for up to two months. Always let the steak rest before cutting to retain juices. Experiment with different toppings, such as avocado or jalapeños.
