Step-by-Step Instructions
1⃣ Season the Steak
🥩 In a small bowl, combine chipotle chili powder, cumin, salt, garlic powder, and black pepper.
🔥 Rub the seasoning mixture onto the thinly sliced ribeye steak.
🍋 Squeeze lime juice over the steak and let it rest for 15-30 minutes (not longer, or the lime will break down the meat too much).

🌿 Chop fresh cilantro.
🍋 Cut limes into wedges.
🌮 Set out salsas, diced jalapeños, onions, chorizo, or pineapple for extra toppings.
3⃣ Warm the Tortillas

🌮 Warm corn tortillas for about 1.5 minutes per side until soft and slightly charred.
🛆 Stack them on a plate and cover with a clean towel to keep warm.
4⃣ Cook the Steak
🔥 Heat a cast iron skillet over high heat.
🥩 Cook the seasoned ribeye strips for about 2 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they reach your desired doneness.
5⃣ Assemble the Tacos
🌮 Take a warm tortilla, add a generous amount of ribeye steak.
🧀 Sprinkle with queso fresco.
🥑 Add avocado slices and chopped cilantro.
