My take on the viral Tortilla Kebabs, made with spicy beef and soft flour tortillas, might just be the ultimate comfort food for the grill. Finish them with a creamy jalapeno drizzle, and it’s game over.

Ingredients

Skewers:

2.5 lbs Ground Beef sliced thinly
12 Large Flour Tortillas
1 cup Chipotle Garlic Seasoning or your favorite Taco Rub

Creamy Jalapeno Sauce:

½ cup Mayonnaise
¼ cup Sour Cream
2 medium Limes juiced
1.5 tbsp Pickled Jalapenos diced
1 tbsp Pickled Jalapeno Juice
1 tbsp Chopped Cilantro

Fries:

Frozen Fries
Frying Oil

Instructions

Lay out one tortilla and take a handful of ground beef. Spread over the tortilla for a nice thin layer. Season generously with taco rub. Repeat for 5-6 tortillas.
Stack the meat stuffed tortillas and square off the edges. Slice into 2”x2” cubes to make your skewers. Skewer these up and repeat until you have 4-6 skewers. Season the outside of the skewers once done.
Add the skewers to the freezer to set for 30 minutes.
In a bowl, mix together the Creamy Jalapeno Sauce and set in the fridge.
Pull out the skewers and add to the grill grates to slowly cook. Cook for about 8-10 minutes per side or until 165F internal, then once done pull off and let rest.
Fry up some French fries while the beef is resting, then serve with the fries and sauce on the side. Enjoy!

Pro Tip: What’s the Best Charcoal to Use from Cowboy Charcoal?

For these tortilla kebabs, go with Cowboy All-Natural Hardwood Lump Charcoal. It burns hot, lights fast, and gives that clean, wood-fired flavor that makes the beef smoky without overpowering the tortillas. Want a little more control or a slower burn? Mix in some Cowboy Hardwood Briquets, which also infuses more mesquite flavor.
