Gather ingredients: 1.5 pounds round steak, 1/3 cup soy sauce, 1/3 cup lime juice, 1/3 cup olive oil, meat tenderizer, cilantro, garlic, lime, chicken bouillon, pepper, salt, onion, tomatoes, tomatillos, jalapenos, and corn tortillas.

In a bowl, combine 1/3 cup soy sauce, 1/3 cup lime juice, and 1/3 cup olive oil.

Add meat tenderizer to the marinade mixture.

Place the round steak in a Ziploc bag and pour the marinade over it, ensuring the meat is well coated.

Let the meat marinate for at least 2 hours, preferably longer for better flavor.

After marinating, heat a pan or grill over medium heat and cook the meat for 2-3 minutes on each side until fully cooked.

Remove the cooked meat from the heat and let it rest for 5 minutes.

Cut the rested meat into small pieces, aiming for fine cuts for the tacos.

Prepare the salsa by sautéing chopped onion, tomatoes, tomatillos, and jalapenos in a pot with oil for about 5 minutes until the tomato skin starts to peel.

Blend the sautéed vegetables with cilantro, garlic, lime, chicken bouillon, pepper, and salt until desired consistency is reached.

Warm the corn tortillas in a bit of oil to prevent them from breaking, using double tortillas for sturdiness.

Assemble the tacos by adding the finely chopped meat, onion, cilantro, lime, and salsa.
