Tips:

  • Choose the right cut of pork: For kabobs, you want a cut of pork that is tender and flavorful. Some good options include pork tenderloin, pork loin, or pork shoulder (also known as pork butt).
  • Marinate the pork: Marinating the pork helps to tenderize it and infuse it with flavor. You can use a variety of marinades, but a simple mixture of olive oil, lime juice, garlic, and cumin is a good place to start.
  • Cook the pork over high heat: Kabobs should be cooked over high heat so that the pork gets a nice char on the outside while remaining juicy on the inside.
  • Skewer the pork properly: When you're skewering the pork, make sure to alternate the pieces of meat with vegetables. This will help to ensure that the kabobs cook evenly.
  • Don't overcook the pork: Pork kabobs are best when they are cooked to an internal temperature of 145 degrees Fahrenheit. Overcooking the pork will make it tough and dry.

Conclusion:

Pork fajita kabobs are a delicious and easy-to-make meal that is perfect for any occasion. They're perfect for parties, potlucks, or a quick and easy weeknight dinner. With a few simple tips, you can make sure that your pork fajita kabobs are juicy, flavorful, and cooked to perfection.
