Instructions

Preheat the oven to 400F.
Prepare the corn tortillas. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper and spread out 12 small tortillas. Add 3 tbsp shredded cheese to each tortilla, spreading it out onto the tortilla. Set aside.
Finely chop the white onion and chop the cilantro. Set aside.
Prepare the steak: Mix all of the steak seasonings together in a small bowl. Pat the steak dry on a cutting board and add the steak seasoning to each side, patting to press into the steak.
Heat 2 tbsp avocado oil in a cast iron skillet over medium-high heat. When hot, place the steak in. Sear on both sides for about 2 minutes per side.
Add the butter in and baste for 3-5 minutes, cooking until it reaches your desired temperature (Cook until internal temperature is 130-135 for medium rare-medium.) Or place in the oven to finish cooking to your desired temperature.
Set the steak aside to rest for a few minutes while you melt the cheese on the tortillas. Place in the oven at 400F degrees for about 5 minutes to melt the cheese.
Assemble the tacos by slicing the steak and add to the tacos along with chopped white onion, chopped cilantro, sour cream, and green salsa or green hot sauce. (Add avocado if desired). Serve immediately.
