Grilled Tex-Mex Marinated Beef Kabob Wraps

15 min prep

30 min marinating

10 min cooking

Serves 4

Difficulty 2/5

Kabobs don’t have to always be served on a stick – they’re perfect to tuck into warmed tortillas, pita, Greek-style flatbread or naan. Top with some crispy veggies, beans and crumbled cheese to make a balanced meal.

Ingredients

2 tbsp (30 mL) fresh lime juice ¼ cup (60 mL) vinaigrette salad dressing, divided 2 tsp (10 mL) chili powder 1 tsp (5 mL) cornstarch 1 lb (500 g) Beef Inside Round Marinating Cubes. 1-inch (2.5 cm) cubes 8 bamboo skewers Pinch EACH salt and pepper 1 cup (250 mL) frozen shelled edamame, thawed 1½ cups (375 mL) diced seeded plum tomatoes ½ cup (125 mL) diced sweet yellow pepper ¼ cup (60 mL) diced red onion 2 cloves garlic, minced 2 tbsp (30 mL) minced fresh cilantro 8 small whole wheat tortillas or other flatbreads

Directions

1. Combine lime juice, 2 tbsp (30 mL) dressing, chili powder and cornstarch in large sealable freezer bag. Add beef cubes, massaging with marinade. Seal and refrigerate for 30 to 60 minutes. Meanwhile, soak skewers in water for at least 30 minutes. 2. Meanwhile, combine edamame, tomatoes, sweet pepper, onion, garlic, cilantro and remaining 2 tbsp (30 mL) dressing in a large bowl, tossing to coat. 3. Discard marinade from meat. Pat beef cubes with paper towel; season all over with salt and pepper. Thread beef cubes onto soaked skewers. 4. Grill kabobs over medium-high heat in a closed barbecue for 8 to 10 minutes, turning to brown all sides, until cooked to 145°F (63°C) for medium-rare at the least (or 160°F/71°C for medium, or 170°F/77°C for well-done). Lightly grill tortillas just to warm. 5. Remove beef cubes from skewers and divide among warm tortillas; top each with vegetable mixture. Fold over and pin each tortilla with a toothpick to serve.

Tip

Cornstarch is often used in marinades to give the sensation of tenderizing.
