Preheat an outdoor grill to 400°F. Remove steak from marinade.  Grill for 7 – 10 minutes per side, turning once, until desired internal temperature. Remove the steak, rest for 5 minutes to allow the juices to redistribute. Thinly slice the steak across the grain on a diagonal.

Warm the tortillas for 30 seconds on each side in a dry skillet or on the grill.

Combine pico de gallo ingredients in mixing bowl and toss thoroughly.

Stack 2 tortillas, add beef, toppings and lime juice if desired.   https://texashighways.com/eat-drink/recipes/recipes-entrees/tex-mex-street-tacos/
