Cut the steak into thin strips, then cut into small pieces.

Add 1 tablespoon of oil to a large griddle or cast iron pan over high heat. Once the oil is hot, add the steak and cook for 6 to 8 minutes or until the steak has browned on all sides. Move to the side of the griddle to keep warm.

Reduce the heat to medium/medium-high and add a bit more oil to the griddle. Place the tortillas on the griddle and top with a generous amount of cheese.
