- 1 tsp chili powder
- 1/2 tsp oregano
- 1/2 tsp salt

Instructions
- Marinate the Meat: In a bowl, mix olive oil, garlic, cumin, paprika, chili powder, oregano, salt, black pepper, lime juice, and soy sauce. Add the beef slices and let marinate for at least 15 minutes.
- Cook the Beef: Heat a skillet over medium-high heat. Add the marinated beef and cook for about 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until browned and cooked through.
- Warm the Tortillas: Heat tortillas on a dry skillet for about 30 seconds per side until they are soft and slightly charred.
- Assemble the Tacos: Place a portion of beef on each tortilla. Top with onions, cilantro, queso fresco, and avocado slices.
- Serve: Garnish with lime wedges and serve with salsa on the side
Notes
- You can substitute beef with chicken, shrimp, or mushrooms for a different variation.
- Marinate the meat for a longer time (up to 24 hours) for deeper flavor.
