2 tablespoons olive oil
1 lime

Recipe
1. Sprinkle the steak all over with salt and pepper.

3. Cut the limes in half, pierce the juice side with a fork and twist to release the juices over the cooked meat.
4. Cut steak into thin slices across the grain and then cut each slice into bite-sized pieces for bringing to the table.
5. Warm the tortillas by dipping first in water and then placing in a dry pan over low heat. Use tongs to lift out and wrap in a towel to keep warm.
6. Assemble the tacos at the table with salsa and guacamole.
