Notes

  • For extra flavor, you can add a squeeze of fresh lime juice over the beef after grilling.
  • If you prefer a spicier version, try adding sliced jalapeños to the vegetable mix or using a spicier salsa.
  • You can also swap the flour tortillas for corn tortillas for a gluten-free option.
  • For an even juicier result, marinate the beef overnight.
