Instructions
Prep
Soak guajillo chiles 5 minutes in hot water. Chop tomatoes, garlic cloves, and onion quarter for salsa. Mince garlic and dice onion for searing. Dice onion for topping. Chop cilantro. Thinly slice beef against the grain. Mix beef with cumin, oregano, salt, and pepper in a bowl.
Toast
Heat a dry pan over medium heat. Toast soaked guajillos 30 seconds until fragrant. Blend with tomatoes, garlic, rough-chopped onion, and a pinch of salt until smooth and thick. Set aside.
Saute
Heat oil in a heavy skillet over medium-high heat 1 minute until shimmering. Add diced onion and minced garlic, stir-fry 1–2 minutes until fragrant and translucent at edges. Add seasoned beef in a single layer, sear 90 seconds without moving, then toss and cook 90 seconds until lightly browned.
Char
Heat a dry skillet or hold tortillas over a gas flame over medium-high heat. Char tortillas 20 seconds per side until dark spots appear and they become pliable. Stack and cover with a clean towel to keep warm.
Plate
Divide seared beef between the four warm tortillas. Top with diced onion, cilantro, and a generous spoonful of salsa roja. Serve with lime wedges on the side.
