Alambres
Alambres are Mexican style beef kabobs. What sets these aside from a regular beef kabob is that there is a piece of bacon or pork belly touching each piece of beef. They can be either broiled or grilled; about 5-6 minutes a side depending on how well done you like your beef. Alambres are always served with tortillas, limes, a hot sauce, and guacamole.
