Steps:
- Place a 12-inch cast-iron skillet on one side of a gas grill, preheat the grill to high and lightly oil the grates. Alternatively, lightly oil a large grill pan and preheat over high heat and preheat a 12-inch cast-iron skillet over high heat.
- Mix the oil, 2 tablespoons chili-lime seasoning, garlic, the juice of 1 lime, 1 tablespoon salt and a generous amount of pepper in a large bowl. Place the steaks on a plate and spoon 3 tablespoons of the mixture on top, flipping so that both sides are nicely coated, spooning any marinade on the plate back onto the meat.

- Place the steaks on the open side of the grill or on the grill pan and put the vegetables and any oil left in the bowl in the cast-iron skillet.
- Cook the steaks, flipping once halfway through, until cooked through, about 8 minutes total for medium-rare. Transfer to a cutting board and let rest for 2 minutes. Cook the vegetables, stirring occasionally, until softened and charred in some spots, about 10 minutes.
- Meanwhile, mix the butter and remaining 1/4 teaspoon chili-lime seasoning in a small bowl. Wrap the tortillas loosely in foil and grill until warm, about 1 minute per side.
- Thinly slice the steaks and add to the skillet with the vegetables. Top with the butter and quickly stir until melted and incorporated, about 1 minute.
- Cut the remaining lime into wedges. Serve the steak and vegetables with the tortillas, salsa and lime wedges.
