Meat

Marinade

Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Marinate the Meat

    In a large bowl, combine minced garlic, olive oil, cumin, paprika, salt, black pepper, lime juice, and chopped cilantro. Mix well to form a marinade.

  2. 2

    Add Meat to Marinade

    Cut the chicken thighs and pork shoulder into bite-sized pieces. Add the meat to the marinade, ensuring all pieces are coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, preferably overnight.

Assembly and Cooking

  1. 3

    Prepare Skewers

    If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for at least 30 minutes to prevent burning. Meanwhile, preheat your grill to medium-high heat.

  2. 4

    Skewer the Ingredients

    Thread the marinated chicken and pork onto the skewers, alternating with chunks of bell peppers and red onion.

  3. 5

    Grill the Skewers

    Place the skewers on the preheated grill. Grill for about 10-12 minutes, turning occasionally, until the meat is cooked through and has nice grill marks.

  4. 6

    Serve

    Remove the skewers from the grill and let them rest for a few minutes. Serve hot with additional lime wedges and cilantro if desired.
