Ingredients

• Beef flank steak - 300 grams
• Pineapple - 100 grams, diced
• Onion - 1 medium, finely chopped

Steps

1. In a bowl, combine olive oil, minced garlic, chili powder, cumin, oregano, salt, and black pepper to create a marinade.

6. Warm the corn tortillas in a dry skillet for about 30 seconds on each side.
