BEER PAIRING
Pair with a White IPA, like Blue Moon® White IPA
The combination of orange peel and American hops in Blue Moon White IPA provides a citrus quality, making it the perfect match for the orange and lime in this dish.
This is grilled steak in all its glory: A vibrant citrus marinade made of orange, lime, chipotle peppers and cilantro.
And the moderate-to-medium bitterness in the White IPA? It helps brings out the mild heat in our chipotle peppers, while the Huell Melon hops add a fresh fruity quality that livens up this smoky, savory dish.
INGREDIENTS
¾ cup fresh orange juice
¼ cup fresh lime juice
¼ cup canola oil, plus more for tortillas
2 chipotle peppers packed in adobo sauce
2 cloves garlic, peeled
¼ cup cilantro, loosely packed

1 teaspoon kosher salt
8 corn tortillas
Diced onion and chopped cilantro for serving
PREPARATION
STEP 1
In a blender, combine orange juice, lime juice, oil, peppers, garlic, cilantro, and honey; blend until pureed. Place steak in a rimmed dish and pour marinade over steak. Cover and refrigerate for an hour or up to overnight.
