• heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and stir in the steak. cook and stir until the beef is evenly browned. drain and discard any excess grease. heat another skillet over medium heat. place one tortilla in the skillet and sprinkle with cheese and cooked steak. top with the onion mixture, then carefully fold the tortilla in half. cook until lightly crisp on each side. repeat with remaining tortillas. serve with yogurt sauce on the side.
