1

Season the steaks with a splash of extra virgin olive oil, salt, and pepper to taste on both sides.

2

Heat up a skillet until it's nice and hot.

3

Cook the steaks for about 30 to 40 seconds on each side until they change color, but do not overcook them.

4

Set the cooked steaks aside for about 2 to 3 minutes before slicing.

5

In the same skillet, cook the chorizo for about 5 to 6 minutes until it's nice and brown, breaking it up with a spoon as it cooks.

6

Chop the steaks into small pieces for the taco filling.

7

Once the chorizo is cooked, add the chopped steak back into the skillet and stir to combine, cooking for another 1 to 2 minutes until heated through.

8

To serve, grab a tortilla, add some of the filling to the center, and garnish with chopped cilantro and chopped onions. Serve with lime wedges and your favorite salsa.
