  3. Add half the chopped onions to the skillet and cook with the steak until soft.
  4. Season the mixture with salt, pepper and cumin, then add the juice of two limes to the mixture along with the chopped cilantro. Continue cooking until the meat is cooked through.
  5. Meanwhile, heat a skillet with a thin layer of olive oil or oil of your choice. Fry the mini tortillas on both sides to soften.
  6. Drain tortillas on a paper towel.
  7. Top the tortillas with the carne asada, then add other topping of your choice, like the chopped onion, avocados or pico de gallo. You can find a recipe for home made pico de gallo below or you can buy some pre-made from your market. You can slice avocado or refer to the Guacamole recipe below. If you want an American, tex-mex version, you can add shredded cheese.
