2 pounds flank steak, fat trimmed off (the butcher will do that in a jiffy if you ask nicely)
1/2 cup vegetable oil (or canola oil), approximately
12 corn tortillas
1 cup chopped cilantro leaves (a few handfuls)
1 lime, sliced into wedges
1/2 large white onion, sliced thinly
1/2 teaspoon Mexican sour cream to top each taco (optional)
3 dashes of your favorite hot sauce per taco

1
Place a large griddle or pan on the stove, on high heat.
2
Add about 2 teaspoons of oil to the steak and rub all over.

Place the steak onto the hot griddle/pan and cook for about 5 min per side.

Remove from heat and let rest while you prepare the tortillas.

In a small pot/pan on high heat, add about 2 tablespoons oil. When the oil heats up, add a tortilla for about 10 seconds per side and place onto a paper towel-lined plate to absorb excess oil.

Repeat with remaining tortillas and add more oil to the pot as needed.

Slice the steak against the grain and then cut the strips into smaller 1-inch pieces for the tacos.
