@seattlehanddoc Very proud! We have 3 into college! 2 more to go! This was the dish he wanted to celebrate with! We’ve made them many times before, if you haven’t made them yet, highly recommend as this recipe is fantastic! Fun fact, for the tortillas, we just cut off the rounds and made them square! Tortilla Kebab Skewers Mix: 3 lbs ground beef, 2 minced onions, 1 minced red bell pepper, 6 garlic cloves, 1/4 c parsley, 1 tbsp cumin, 2 tbsp paprika, 2 tbsp coriander, 1 tbsp garlic powder, 2 tsp black pepper, 1–1.5 tbsp kosher salt. Spread mix on 10 square-cut x-large tortillas. Stack 5 at a time with a tortilla on top + bottom (2 stacks). Cut 1” wide strips, turn on side, press onto skewers. Cut between skewers. Grill in oiled cast iron, a few mins per side (4 turns). Sauce: Simmer 8 oz butter, 1/2 c yogurt/labneh, 1/2 minced onion, 1/4 c parsley, 4 garlic cloves, 2 tsp paprika, salt. Dip or drizzle—done! #kebab #collegedecisionday #mediterranean #acceptanceletter
