Taquitos let you create Mexican Kabobs with ease.
Serves: 6 skewers
Prep Time: 60 minutes
Total Time: 70 minutes
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
- Prepare and ignite grill according to manufacturer specifications and use the medium to low heat area on the grill for cooking.
- Bring about 2 quarts of water to a boil and add about a tablespoon
of salt to the water.
- Cut El Monterey Taquitos into thirds and set aside.
- 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.
- Skewer the Taquitos
and vegetables however you like alternately i.e.
{vegetable-taquito-vegetable - vegetable-taquito-vegetable-vegetable-taquito} and so on.
- 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
- 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 jalapeño or habanero jelly or any other specialty jam, jelly or preserve.
