Ingredients
- 1/4 cup olive oil, plus more for oiling grill grates
- One 1.25-ounce packet taco seasoning
- Juice of 1 lime
- 1 pound beef sirloin, trimmed and cut into 1-inch cubes
- 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breast, cut into 1-inch cubes
- 30 shishito peppers or 2 bell peppers, cut into 1-inch pieces
- 30 cherry tomatoes
- 1 red onion, cut into 1-inch pieces
- Soft corn or flour tortillas, warmed, for serving
- Sour cream, for garnish
- Chopped fresh cilantro, for garnish
Instructions
- In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, taco seasoning and lime juice.
- Place the beef in one bowl, the chicken in another bowl and combine the peppers, tomatoes and onion in a third bowl. Divide the marinade among the three bowls and toss to coat.
- Preheat a grill for cooking over medium-high heat. Thread the ingredients onto 15 soaked wooden or bamboo skewers, alternating pieces of beef or chicken with pepper, tomato and onion. (Keep the beef and chicken on separate skewers, as they have different cooking times.) Lightly oil the grill grates. Grill the kebabs, turning once, until cooked to desired doneness, about 6 minutes total for the beef kebabs and 8 to 10 minutes total for the chicken kebabs.
- Serve with warmed soft tortillas, sour cream and fresh cilantro.

Reviews
The kebabs are flavorful, juicy, tender- everything and anything you want from grilled meat! As far as the olive oil, it’s perfect for grilling over medium heat– medium heat being well below the smoking point. The skewers are also beautiful and perfect for summer parties!
Olive oil has low smoking point. It will burn and will become toxic, carcinogenic upon contact with hot grill.
Use oils with higher smoke point instead, such as Sunvella FryPure
