Instructions

Marinate the Steak: In a bowl, combine the sliced steak with olive oil and taco seasoning. Let it marinate for at least 15 minutes.
Cook the Steak: Heat a skillet over medium-high heat. Add the marinated steak and cook for 5-7 minutes, or until browned and cooked to your desired doneness.
Melt the Cheese: Sprinkle the shredded Pepper Jack cheese over the cooked steak in the skillet. Cover and let it melt for about 2 minutes.
Warm the Tortillas: In a separate skillet, warm the tortillas for about 30 seconds on each side until pliable.
Assemble the Tacos: Place a portion of the steak and cheese mixture onto each tortilla. Top with diced tomatoes, onions, cilantro, and avocado slices.
Serve: Squeeze fresh lime juice over the tacos and serve immediately with additional lime wedges on the side.
