1
Prepare the Cheese Crust
In a non-stick skillet over medium heat, sprinkle a thin layer of shredded cheese evenly on the bottom of the skillet. Allow it to cook until it bubbles and turns golden brown.
2
Add Tortillas
Carefully place a tortilla on top of the melted cheese. Press down lightly to adhere and let it cook for another minute until the cheese is fully melted and forms a crust.
3
Flip and Cook
Using a spatula, flip the tortilla to allow the cheese crust side to be on top. Cook for an additional minute, then remove from the skillet. Repeat with the remaining tortillas.

4
Marinate the Steak
In a bowl, combine olive oil, minced garlic, lime juice, cumin, salt, and black pepper. Add the flank steak and marinate for at least 30 minutes or up to 2 hours in the refrigerator.
5
Grill the Steak
Preheat a grill or grill pan over high heat. Remove the steak from the marinade and grill for about 4-6 minutes on each side, or until it reaches your desired doneness.
6
Rest and Slice
Remove the steak from the grill and let it rest for 5 minutes. Slice it against the grain into thin strips.
