DIRECTIONS

MAKE THE MEAT MIXTURE In a large bowl, mix ground beef, Momma's Honey BBQ Sauce, shredded cheese, diced onion & bell pepper until well combined.

SQUARE AND LAYER THE TORTILLAS Stack your flour tortillas on a cutting board. Use a sharp knife to trim away the rounded edges, turning them into uniform squares. Lay down the first tortilla square and spread a thin, even layer of the meat mixture completely to the edges. Place another tortilla directly on top, press down gently, and repeat until you have layered 5 tortillas with meat. Cap the stack with the 6th plain tortilla.

CHILL TO SET Place the constructed skewers on a tray and refrigerate or freeze them for 30 minutes. Chilling helps the meat firm up so the layers stay intact on the grill.

SLICE AND SKEWER Slice the entire stack vertically into 4 equal strips. Turn each strip onto its side so that the cut, layered meat-and-tortilla edges face upward. Press the layers together firmly and push a skewer straight through the center of each. Cut horizontally across the stack to create individual kebab skewers.

COOK UNTIL CRISPY Preheat your grill to medium-high heat (300°F). Sear the kebabs for 2 to 3 minutes per side. While flipping, brush the outer tortilla layers generously with olive oil to help them turn golden and shatteringly crisp. Cook until the internal temperature of the beef reaches 160°F to 165°F.

GLAZE WITH SAUCE In the last 2-3 minutes of grilling, brush with your favorite III Generations BBQ Sauce. Grill until sticky, caramelized and irresistible. Remove from grill and let rest for a few minutes before serving.
