1. Prepare the salsa if using the cactus. Then cut finger-like strips of each cactus paddle lengthwise to within 1 1/2 inch of the edge to resemble the palm of a hand. Heat a flat griddle or large cast iron skillet until hot. Put the cactus paddles on the griddle. Cook about 1 minute.
2. Turn the cactus, and add the steaks and onion to the griddle. Brush everything with oil. Cook, turning everything, 2 to 3 times, until the meat is done and the cactus and onion are tender. Season with salt.
3. Transfer everything to a cutting board. Chop the steaks into small pieces. Cut each cactus paddle in half. Warm the tortillas on the griddle until pliable. Divide the cactus, meat, and onion among the tortillas. Fold in half and serve at once with the salsa.
