To quickly prepare taco meat and still ensure it's juicy, fry the beef in thin strips over high heat, tossing the steak with spices and a pinch of sugar beforehand. Add the beef after a few minutes in the pan, then sauté the onions in the remaining flavorful juices. Together with the meat, they make a juicy addition to the tacos. You can assemble the tacos yourself, or if you're in a rush to set the table, give your guests the chance to do so by setting up a taco bar. Set out the meat, tortillas, sour cream, guacamole, salsa, and shredded cheese, and enjoy the meal while chatting with friends.

Cooking the dish according to the recipe:

Cut the steak along the grain into 7cm pieces, then cut each piece across the grain into 0.8cm thick strips. In a medium bowl, combine the steak with chili powder, oregano, sugar, 3/4 tsp salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste.
Heat a large nonstick skillet over high heat. Meanwhile, wrap the tortillas in a clean kitchen towel and microwave on 100% power for 1 minute. Keep the tortillas wrapped until ready to serve.

When the pan is hot, add the oil. Place the steak in the pan in an even layer. Cook without stirring for 2 minutes, then stir the steak thoroughly and cook until browned, about 1.5 minutes more. Transfer the steak to a medium bowl. Immediately add the onion to the pan, stir, and cook until softened, about 1.5 minutes. Transfer to the bowl with the steak and stir to coat evenly.
Prepare the taco bar for serving by setting out bowls of steak and onions, tortillas, sour cream, guacamole, salsa verde, pico de gallo, and cheese.

Sauces for serving: guacamole, salsa verde, pico de gallo.
