Asian Bang Tortilla Kebabs Recipe

Prep time: 20 minutes
Cook time: 15 to 20 minutes
Total time: Approximately 40 minutes
Servings: 4 to 6
Difficulty: Easy

Ingredients

2 pounds ground beef
1/2 onion, finely diced
2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
2 tablespoons Blazing Star BBQ Beef Rub
1 tablespoon Bear & Burton’s Fireshire
4 large flour tortillas
Blazing Star BBQ Asian Bang Sauce, for glazing and serving

Instructions

Prepare the meat mixture. Combine the ground beef, diced onion, chopped parsley, Beef Rub and Fireshire in a large bowl. Mix until all the ingredients are evenly distributed.
Trim the tortillas. Trim each flour tortilla into an even square so the finished layers line up properly.
Add the beef. Lay one tortilla flat and press approximately one-quarter of the seasoned beef mixture evenly across its surface.
Build the layers. Repeat with the remaining tortillas and beef, stacking each prepared tortilla on top of the previous layer.
Cut the kebabs. Slice the stacked tortillas into four long rows. Turn the rows onto their sides and cut them into individual portions.
Secure the layers. Carefully insert skewers through the tortilla and beef layers to hold each kebab together.
Grill the kebabs. Cook over medium-high heat, flipping every few minutes, until the beef is completely cooked and the tortilla edges are crisp and lightly charred. Ground beef should reach an internal temperature of 160°F.
Glaze with Asian Bang Sauce. Brush the kebabs generously with Asian Bang Sauce during the final few minutes of cooking. Turn as needed to caramelize the sauce without burning it.
Serve. Remove the kebabs from the grill and serve hot with additional Asian Bang Sauce for dipping.

Tips for the Best Tortilla Kebabs

Spread the ground beef in an even layer so it cooks at the same rate throughout each kebab.
Do not make the beef layers too thick. Thinner layers cook more evenly between the tortillas.
Turn the kebabs frequently to prevent the exposed tortilla edges from burning.
Add the Asian Bang Sauce near the end because its sugars will caramelize quickly over direct heat.
Verify that the ground beef reaches an internal temperature of 160°F before serving.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I prepare tortilla kebabs ahead of time?

Yes. Assemble and cut the kebabs several hours ahead, cover them and keep them refrigerated. Insert the skewers before grilling and cook them directly from the refrigerator.

Can I cook these without a charcoal grill?

Yes. Cook them on a gas grill or in a grill pan over medium-high heat. You can also bake them on a wire rack over a sheet pan at 400°F until the beef reaches 160°F, then glaze them during the final few minutes.

What does Asian Bang Sauce taste like?

Blazing Star BBQ Asian Bang Sauce delivers a savory, slightly sweet and tangy flavor with balanced heat. It works as a glaze, dipping sauce, marinade or finishing sauce.
