Instructions

Step 1: Slice ribeye against the grain into 1/4-inch strips. In a small bowl, mix 2 tsp chili powder, 1 tsp cumin, 1 tsp garlic powder, and 1/2 tsp smoked paprika. Rub mixture evenly over steak strips.
Step 2: Heat 1 tbsp olive oil in a large skillet over high heat until shimmering. Add steak in a single layer and sear for 2 minutes per side until browned but still juicy.
Step 3: Remove steak from pan and let rest 5 minutes. Warm corn tortillas in a dry skillet for 15 seconds per side.
Step 4: Dice avocado and red onion. Finely chop cilantro and squeeze lime over mixture. Slice lime into wedges for serving.
Step 5: Assemble tacos by placing 2-3 steak strips on a warm tortilla, topping with avocado mixture, and squeezing fresh lime juice. Serve immediately with extra lime wedges.
