Flank steak braises in a robust mixture of beer, orange juice, chili powder, and cumin until fall-apart tender, making for superb soft tacos. Serve with mixed fruit and a simple slaw of shredded cabbage, lime juice, scallions, and cilantro. Or serve with a Mexican-inspired salad of mixed greens, corn, black beans, tomatoes, and avocado. If you want to skip the tortillas, the filling is also delicious over a bed of greens, wrapped up in large lettuce leaves, or spooned over grain-and-veggie bowls.
