Ingredients
- 1 pound flank steak
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 2 tablespoons oil
- 4 whites corn tortillas
- 0.5 cups chimichurri sauce
- 0.25 cups red onions
- 0.5 cups cotija cheese

Instructions

1
Gather all ingredients.

2
Sprinkle salt over steak to cover both sides. Wrap tightly in plastic wrap and refrigerate for 1 hour or up to 1 day.

3
Heat a skillet over medium heat and add 1 tablespoon oil. Fry tortillas, 1 at a time, on each side until puffy and golden brown, about 1 minute. Set aside on a plate and cover with paper towels.

Sear steak in the same skillet, adding oil as needed; turn over frequently until browned, about 8 minutes per side. For medium-rare, steaks will be firm and reddish-pink and juicy in the center. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read 130 degrees F (54 degrees C) for medium rare.
