    Sear steak for 2–3 minutes per side until browned and cooked to your preferred doneness.
    Remove from heat and let rest for a few minutes.
  2. Assemble the Wraps
    Warm tortillas briefly to make them pliable.

    Roll tightly into wraps.
  3. Crisp the Wraps
    Place wraps seam-side down in the hot skillet.
