## 🔪 Instructions
### 1. Marinate the Meat
- In a bowl or bag, mix garlic, lime juice, olive oil, salt, pepper, and optional spices.
- Add steak. Marinate 30 minutes to 2 hours max. Let it sit at room temp before cooking.
### 2. Sear It Up
- Heat a cast iron skillet over high heat until smoking hot.
- Lightly oil the meat or pan.
- Sear steak 2–3 minutes per side (or until nice crust forms).
- For thicker cuts, finish in a 400°F oven for 3–5 min if needed.
- Rest meat under foil 10 min. Slice **against the grain** into thin strips.
### 3. Warm the Tortillas
- Heat dry on a hot skillet or open flame until slightly charred and pliable.
- Stack and keep warm in a towel.
### 4. Assemble
- Lay meat on tortilla.
- Add cilantro and onion (or leave onion off for Christina 😏).
- Optional splash of clean hot sauce or squeeze of fresh lime.

## 🔁 Variations
