Lightly coat both sides of the steak with olive oil. Grill the steak until it's well browned on the outside and cooked to your preference, typically about 5 to 7 minutes on each side for medium-rare. After grilling, let the steak rest for 15 minutes.

Warm a separate large skillet over medium heat. Toast 2 or 3 tortillas at a time, until they're lightly browned on both sides, which should take about a minute per side. Continue this process until all the tortillas are done.
