In a separate bowl, combine the diced tomatoes, onion, garlic, jalapeno, cilantro, lime juice, and salt. Mix well and set aside.
Step 3: Cook the beef
In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the marinated beef and cook until browned and fully cooked, about 5-7 minutes.
Step 4: Assemble the tacos
Warm up your tortillas in a pan or in the microwave. Place a few spoonfuls of the cooked beef onto each tortilla and top with the prepared salsa. Serve with lime wedges and any additional toppings you desire, such as avocado, cheese, or sour cream.
