    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.

    Chipotle Tacos with Orange Salad & Lime Sour Cream
    Title
    • 4 Flour Tortillas
    • 1 15.5-Oz Can Cannellini Beans
    • 1 Poblano Pepper
    • 1 Lime
    • 2 Tbsps Grated Cotija Cheese
    • 1 Red Onion
    • 1 Persian Cucumber
    • 2 tsps Chipotle Chile Paste
    • 1 Tbsp Light Brown Sugar
    • 1 clove Garlic
    • 1 Navel Orange
    • ¼ cup Sour Cream
    • 3 Tbsps Roasted Peanuts
    Prepare the ingredients & make the glaze
    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.

    Cook the vegetables & beans
    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.

    Make the salad
    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.

    Warm the tortillas
    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.
