Prepare all ingredients before starting to cook.

Add oil to a medium-high pan and sauté the sirloin cut into strips until browned.

Add onions, garlic, and hot peppers to the pan and sauté until softened.

Add vegetable stock, tomatoes, cumin, oregano, salt, and pepper to the pan and stir well.

Mix cornstarch with water in a separate bowl, then add to the pan to thicken the mixture.

Bring the mixture to a boil, then cover and simmer for about 15 minutes.

Boil eggs by placing them in cold water, bringing to a boil, covering, and turning off the heat to let sit for 7 minutes.

Slice the boiled eggs thinly using an egg slicer.

Make the salad by combining water and vinegar in a bowl, then adding sugar and mixing well.

Add sliced cucumber (with peel) and onion to the dressing and mix well, then season with salt and pepper.

Plate the dish by warming tortillas, adding the meat mixture, beans, and sliced eggs, then folding the tortilla over.

Garnish with sour cream and parsley, and serve with the cucumber salad.
