Preparation
- Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
- In a small bowl, combine chili powder, paprika, cumin, oregano, garlic powder, onion powder, and salt.
- Rub the seasoning mix onto the sirloin steak, ensuring every inch is coated.
- Heat a skillet with a drizzle of cooking oil and sear the steak for 4-5 minutes on each side.
- Let the steak rest for 5 minutes before slicing it into bite-sized pieces.
Assembly and Cooking
- On a baking sheet, layer a tortilla with a generous amount of cheese, followed by the sliced steak, black beans, corn, tomatoes, avocado, and a bit more cheese.
- Top with another tortilla and bake in the oven for 8-10 minutes until golden brown and crispy.
- Once out of the oven, garnish with lime juice and fresh cilantro, slice into wedges, and serve hot.
Notes
Remember to let the steak rest before slicing to keep the juices trapped inside. Preheating the skillet ensures a perfect sear.
