- ¼ cup olive oil
- ¼ cup soy sauce (or coconut aminos for gluten-free)
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 tbsp lime juice (fresh is best!)

Instructions
1️⃣ Marinate the Steak (30 mins - overnight)
- In a bowl, whisk together olive oil, soy sauce, garlic, lime juice, vinegar, honey, and all spices.
- Place steak in a ziplock bag or shallow dish and pour marinade over it.
- Massage it in (yes, get handsy with it! 😆) and let it sit at least 30 mins (or overnight for maximum flavor).
2️⃣ Cook the Steak (10-15 mins)
- Heat a grill or cast-iron skillet on high heat.
- Remove steak from marinade (shake off excess) and cook for 3-4 mins per side for medium-rare (longer if you prefer well-done).
- Let it rest for 5 mins before slicing against the grain (this keeps it tender!).
3️⃣ Warm Tortillas & Assemble
- Lightly char tortillas on a dry pan or over an open flame (game-changer!).
- Fill with sliced steak, red onion, cilantro, jalapeños, cheese, and a squeeze of lime.
- Devour immediately!
- (Adjust based on toppings & tortilla choice!)🌮💥
