The Ingredients

4 ounces top round steak
1 eight-inch-diameter low-carb flour tortilla
1/2 to 1 teaspoon salt-free Mexican or Southwest seasoning
1/8 teaspoon garlic powder
Pinch of salt, or to taste
Olive-oil spray
2/3 cup finely shredded romaine lettuce
1/4 cup chopped tomato
1 ounce shredded Cabot's 75% light cheddar cheese
1 tablespoon red taco sauce
2 tablespoons fresh cilantro

How To Make It

Preheat the oven to 400°F.

Place the steak between two sheets of wax paper. Use the toothed side of a meat mallet to pound both sides of the steak until it's 1/3 inch thick. Cut it into 1/4-inch strips.

Wrap the tortilla in foil and place directly on the oven rack to warm for five minutes.

Mix together the Mexican seasoning, garlic powder, and salt. Add the steak strips and toss to coat evenly.

Preheat a nonstick skillet to medium-high. Mist it lightly with spray. Add the steak strips in a single layer and cook two to four minutes.

Place the tortilla on a plate and spoon the steak strips over half. Top evenly with the lettuce, tomato, cheese, taco sauce, and cilantro. Fold in half.

Serves one.
