Mexican Street Steak Tacos - too simple. Too good.
Ingredients Chopped steak - about 1-2 lbs - get good steak, it makes a big difference. I use 1 package of Carne Picada from Aldi. Great quality steak, and it's inexpensive. SCORE!
1 large white onion - finely chopped (can substitute a red onion here)
Montreal Steak Seasoning - funny how this McCormick's French wanna-be steak stuff works for Mexican steak street tacos - but it's stupidly fantastic.
Toppings • minced cilantro • queso fresco crumble cheese • Valentina's hot sauce - regular or hot, go with what you prefer. I like love the flavor of Valentina's regular. If you like some other brand, go with it. • Good Soft corn tortillas - I prefer El Milagro soft White corn tortillas; they're much better than most restaurant soft corn tortillas.
Method: Over medium heat in a large (#10) cast iron skillet, cook down the onion in a good drizzle of regular olive oil for a 2-3 minutes, add the steak, and start browning. Sprinkle liberally with Montreal steak seasoning - don't be too shy here, and let the fat render out.
When the steak is cooked through, warm up the tortillas on a flat griddle or skillet.
When the tortillas are warm, double a pair, load it with steak/onion mixture, top with queso fresco, cilantro, and drizzle with Valentina's hot sauce.
Will post a pic, next time I make these.

At first I thought blasphemy! Using a northern spice mixture on a taco! But it looks like the mixture has mostly mexican centric ingredients like coriander, garlic black pepper and cayenne. The dill is a little different. The wikipedia origin story is interesting. It sounds like a good recipe for a trip too, if you want to take fresh meat. Tacos don't require as much as a steak dinner.
