From the Test Kitchen

Tucked inside warm flour tortillas, bites of tender steak and spicy chipotle-glazed pepper and onion find cooling contrast from a layer of zesty lime sour cream. For even more delicious balance, we're serving the tacos alongside a refreshing cucumber, orange, and peanut salad.

step-by-step

instructions

Cook Along

1 Prepare the ingredients & make the glaze

If you prefer to use an oven to warm the tortillas instead of a microwave, preheat the oven to 375°F. Wash and dry the fresh produce. Halve, peel, and thinly slice the onion. Thinly slice the cucumber into rounds. Using a zester or the small side of a box grater, finely grate the lime to get 1 teaspoon. Quarter the lime. Peel 1 clove of garlic; using a zester or the small side of a box grater, finely grate into a paste. Peel the orange; halve lengthwise, then thinly slice crosswise. Cut off and discard the stem of the pepper. Halve lengthwise; remove the ribs and seeds, then thinly slice crosswise. Thoroughly wash your hands, knife, and cutting board immediately after handling. In a medium bowl, combine the sliced cucumber, the juice of 2 lime wedges, a drizzle of olive oil, and as much of the garlic paste as you’d like. Set aside to marinate, stirring occasionally, at least 10 minutes. In a separate bowl, whisk together the sugar, 1/2 cup of water, and as much of the chile paste as you’d like, depending on how spicy you’d like the dish to be.

2 Cook the vegetables & beans

Drain and rinse the beans. In a medium pan (nonstick, if you have one), heat a drizzle of olive oil on medium-high until hot. Add the sliced onion and sliced pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, 3 to 4 minutes, or until lightly browned. Add the drained beans and glaze (carefully, as the liquid may splatter); season with salt and pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, 3 to 4 minutes, or until the vegetables are softened and the liquid has mostly cooked off. Turn off the heat.

3 Make the salad

Meanwhile, to the bowl of marinated cucumber, add the sliced orange, peanuts, and half the cheese. Season with salt and pepper; stir to combine. Taste, then season with salt and pepper if desired.

4 Warm the tortillas

If using the microwave, wrap the tortillas in a damp paper towel and microwave on high 1 minute, or until heated through. If using the oven, wrap the tortillas in foil and place directly onto an oven rack; warm 7 to 9 minutes, or until heated through. Transfer to a work surface and carefully unwrap.

5 Finish & serve your dish

In a bowl, combine the sour cream, lime zest, and the juice of remaining lime wedges. Assemble the tacos using the warmed tortillas, lime sour cream, glazed beans and vegetables (including any glaze from the pan), and remaining cheese. Serve the tacos with the salad on the side. Enjoy!
