Steps:
- Whisk orange juice, lemon juice, salt, onion powder, garlic powder, black pepper, and sugar together in a large bowl to dissolve seasoning into the liquid. Add scallops, yellow squash, zucchinis, and portobello mushroom to the mojito marinade; toss to coat.
- Cover bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate 8 hours to overnight.
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
- Thread onto a skewer a piece of mushroom, yellow squash, zucchini, and a scallop, respectively. Repeat so there are two of each item on the skewer; repeat with remaining skewers. Sprinkle fresh basil evenly over the skewers.
- Carefully remove tomato insides with a spoon; discard tomato insides.
- Pour broccoli with cheese sauce into a microwave-safe bowl; cook in microwave until broccoli is tender and the sauce is melted, 3 to 5 minutes.
- Stir broccoli with cheese sauce and rice together in a bowl; spoon into the hollowed-out tomatoes. Place 2 strips American cheese atop the mixture in a crossing pattern.
- Cook the skewers in preheated oven until the scallops are cooked through, 25 to 30 minutes. Remove from oven to a plate; cover with aluminum foil to keep warm.
- Reduce oven heat to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
- Bake tomatoes in the oven until the cheese is bubbling, 5 to 10 minutes. Serve with the skewers.

MEXICAN MOJITO
The mojito is so sexy and light that it would be a shame not to adapt the Cuban original to the Mexican model. The typical mojito is made with white rum, but a smooth white tequila works perfectly with the wisp of mint and sweetness. Tequila is a more versatile mixer than one might think, especially in drinks that already lean to the tart and citrusy. A very quick drink to make-and drink.-Deborah Schneider

Tips:
- For the most flavorful kabobs, choose ripe and juicy melon and pineapple. If the fruits are not sweet enough, you can add a drizzle of honey or maple syrup to the kabobs before grilling.
- If you don't have a grill, you can also cook the kabobs in a grill pan over medium heat. Just be sure to grease the pan well to prevent the kabobs from sticking.
- If you want to make the kabobs ahead of time, you can assemble them and then store them in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours. Just be sure to grill them within 24 hours of assembly.
- These kabobs are also great for meal prep. Simply assemble them and then store them in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. When you're ready to eat, just grill them until heated through.
Conclusion:
Mexican Mojito Melon Kabobs are a delicious and refreshing summer treat that is perfect for any occasion. They are easy to make and can be customized to your liking. So next time you're looking for a healthy and flavorful snack or appetizer, give these kabobs a try!
