Rest the Steak
Remove the skillet from the heat and transfer the filet mignon to a cutting board. Let it rest for at least 5-10 minutes to allow the juices to redistribute.

Warm the Tortillas
While the steak is resting, warm the flour tortillas in a separate skillet over medium heat for about 30 seconds on each side, or until they are soft and pliable.

Slice the Steak
After the steak has rested, slice it thinly against the grain, which will help ensure tenderness.
