Slice the beef into thin strips. In a bowl, combine the orange juice, soy sauce, olive oil, crushed garlic, cumin, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper.

In a hot skillet, cook the beef over high heat for 3-4 minutes on each side, until seared and still juicy inside.

Chop the onion, chili pepper, and cilantro, then slice the limes.
5
Warm the tortillas in a dry skillet or directly over a flame until slightly charred.
6
Fill the tortillas with the cooked beef, then sprinkle with fresh cilantro and chopped onion.
