Total Time: 70 mins

Recipe Ingredients

10 El Monterey Taquitos
6 Pearl Onions
2 Zucchini squash
2 Yellow squash
2 Red bell pepper
2 Green bell pepper
6 Mushroom
6 Cherry tomato
6 Serrano pepper
1/2 cup Pineapple apricot jam


Recipe Directions

  1. Prepare and ignite grill according to manufacturer specifications and use the medium to low heat area on the grill for cooking.
  2. Bring about 2 quarts of water to a boil and add about a tablespoon of salt to the water.
  3. Cut El Monterey Taquitos into thirds and set aside.
  4. Peel onions and cut tips, cut squash into large 1-inch cubes, and cut peppers into 1-inch squares. Dip each vegetable into boiling water for about a minute just to get them lightly blanched and allow them to cool quickly by dipping them into ice water or on a cookie sheet in the refrigerator for about 20 minutes.
  5. Skewer the Taquitos and vegetables however you like alternately i.e.
    {vegetable-taquito-vegetable - vegetable-taquito-vegetable-vegetable-taquito} and so on.
  6. Lightly brush skewers with olive or vegetable oil and grill them up for about 2-3 minutes on each side or until desired doneness is achieved. Once the skewers are about half way done begin basting them with the jam

Chefs Tips

  • If you are using wooden skewers soak them in water over night to avoid them burning like matchsticks on the grill.
  • Use any other varieties of vegetables such as: eggplant, corn wheels, cauliflower, broccoli, red onion, maybe even fresh cut fruit such as whole strawberries, cubes of melon or apricots, peaches, plums, nectarines, pineapple, figs, apples, and pears.
  • Add some spice by using a jalapeo or habanero jelly or any other specialty jam, jelly or preserve.
