Alambres are a vibrant and mouthwatering Mexican dish, traditionally featuring skewered grilled meat, colorful vegetables, and a generous topping of melted cheese. This dish is a true celebration of flavors and textures, making it perfect for gatherings or a fun family meal. Originating from the streets of Mexico, alambres are often enjoyed as a flavorful alternative to tacos, and with each bite, you experience the smokiness of the grill combined with the freshness of the vegetables and the richness of cheese.

Servings: 4

Ingredients

Chicken breast
1 pound, cut into strips
Olive oil
2 tablespoons
Salt
to taste
Black pepper
to taste
Bell peppers
2, cut into chunks (use a mix of red, yellow, and green for color)
Onion
1 large, cut into wedges
Bacon
4 slices, cooked and crumbled
Cheddar cheese
1 cup, shredded
Tortillas
4, for serving
Guacamole
1 cup, for serving
Salsa
1 cup, for serving

Instructions

  1. Preheat the grill to medium-high heat.
  2. In a bowl, combine the chicken strips with olive oil, salt, and pepper. Toss to coat well and let marinate for at least 15 minutes.
  3. Thread the marinated chicken, bell peppers, and onion wedges onto skewers, alternating between the ingredients for a colorful presentation.
  4. Place the skewers on the grill and cook for about 10-12 minutes, turning occasionally, until the chicken is cooked through and the vegetables are tender and slightly charred.
  5. Once cooked, remove the skewers from the grill and let them rest for a few minutes.
  6. Meanwhile, warm the tortillas on the grill or stovetop until they are soft and pliable.
  7. To assemble, place a tortilla on a plate and top with a portion of the grilled chicken, vegetables, crumbled bacon, and a generous sprinkle of shredded cheese.
  8. Fold the tortilla in half and repeat with the remaining tortillas and ingredients.
  9. Serve the alambres immediately with salsa and guacamole on the side for dipping.
