Tortilla Kebabs

Step by Step Instructions

1. 1

   In a small bowl, combine all the seasonings: paprika, garlic powder, salt, pepper, cumin, coriander and oregano.

   For this step

   • 2 tablespoons paprika
   • 1 tablespoon garlic powder
   • 1 tablespoon salt
   • 1 tablespoon ground black pepper
   • 2 teaspoons ground cumin
   • 2 teaspoons ground coriander
   • 2 teaspoons dried oregano leaves
2. 2

   To a large bowl, add ground beef, bell pepper, onion, parsley, garlic and seasoning. Mix with hands to combine. Set aside.

   For this step

   • 2.5 lb lean ground beef
   • 1/2 medium red bell pepper, finely diced
   • 1/2 medium yellow onion, finely diced
   • 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley
   • 6 cloves of garlic, minced
3. 3

   Stack 8 tortillas together. Using a sharp or serrated knife, trim all the sides of the tortillas to form squares the same size.

   For this step

   • 12 low carb tortillas
4. 4

   Spread the meat mixture evenly over 7 of the tortillas. Make sure to go edge to edge. It will probably need about a heaping ½ cup for each tortilla.

5. 5

   Stack the beef-lined tortillas over each other and top with the last blank tortilla.

6. 6

   Slice the beef tortilla stacks using a sharp or serrated knife vertically into 3 sections.

7. 7

   Flip each one upwards and turn them to the other side so they are side by side, facing upwards. Carefully insert 3 skewers through them. Depending on the size of your stack and skewer, you may only be able to slide the skewer through 2 of the stacks instead of three. Cut again in between each of the skewers to make kebabs. Repeat steps 3-7 with remaining tortillas and beef mixture.

8. 8

   Stovetop method (preferred): Heat a large cast iron or stainless steel skillet over medium heat. Add the cooking oil and let it heat. Cook 2–3 kebabs at a time, turning about every 2–3 minutes to brown each side, until the ground beef reaches 160°F in the thickest meat layers. Lower the heat if the tortillas brown before the meat is done. Repeat with the remaining kebabs. Air fryer method: Air fry at 360°F for about 14 minutes, flipping halfway, and continue as needed until the beef reaches 160°F. Grill method: Grill over medium heat, turning about every 2 minutes to brown each side, until the beef reaches 160°F. Check more than one kebab; browned tortillas alone do not show that the beef is cooked.

9. 9

   Combine all ingredients in a small bowl. Add salt and pepper to taste.

   For this step

   • 1 cup plain Greek yogurt
   • 2 cloves garlic, finely grated
   • 1-2 tablespoons lemon juice
   • 1 tablespoon olive oil
   • 1-2 tablespoons chopped parsley
   • Salt and pepper
