Heat up the oil and add beef keep sauteing in high heat in medium-high heat. Add ground red pepper. When the oil gets too hot, it’ll splash around and will burn the meat. To prevent that, add a splash of water in the pan. Some of it will vaporize instantly and will take out the extra heat from the pan and the meat. This will keep the meat tender. 
When the remaining water in the pan is about to vaporize, cover the pan and the meat with tortilla breads. Let it warm up and then turn off the heat.
