5. While the steak is resting, warm the tortillas on the grill or in a dry skillet over medium heat for about 30 seconds per side.
6. Thinly slice the grilled steak against the grain. Warm the tortillas on the grill or in a dry skillet over medium heat for about 30 seconds per side.
7. Assemble the tacos by placing a few slices of steak on each tortilla. Top with salsa, chopped cilantro, diced onions, and any other desired toppings.
