🔥 Tortilla Kebabs with Garlic Butter & Tzatziki

Recipe By: @traegergrills

🔥 Fun Fact: Stacking the beef directly between tortilla layers means the tortillas crisp up while catching all those smoky, beefy juices. Very efficient. Very delicious.

What You’ll Need

Tortilla Kebabs
  1. 1½ lb ground beef, 80/20

  2. 6 flour tortillas

  3. 1 tsp kosher salt

  4. 1 tsp black pepper

  5. 1 tsp cumin

  6. 1 tsp garlic powder

  7. 1 tsp smoked paprika

  8. ½ tsp dried oregano

  9. ½ yellow onion, grated

  10. 3 garlic cloves, minced

Garlic Butter
  1. 4 tbsp butter, melted

  2. 2 garlic cloves, minced

  3. Pinch of salt

Tzatziki
  1. 1 cup Greek yogurt

  2. 1 Persian cucumber, grated and drained

  3. 1 garlic clove, minced

  4. 2 tbsp chopped dill

  5. 1 tbsp lemon juice

  6. ½ tsp salt

Tomato-Cucumber Salad
  1. Roma tomatoes, chopped

  2. Persian cucumber, chopped

  3. Red onion, thinly sliced

  4. Parsley, chopped

  5. Mint, chopped

  6. Dill, chopped

  7. Red wine vinegar, to taste

  8. Olive oil, to taste

  9. Kosher salt, to taste

  10. Black pepper, to taste

Step By Step

1️⃣ Heat The Grill
  1. Preheat the grill to 450°F. If you’re cooking on a pellet grill, the original recipe uses hickory pellets.

2️⃣ Season The Beef
  1. Mix the ground beef with the kosher salt, black pepper, cumin, garlic powder, smoked paprika, oregano, grated onion, and minced garlic until evenly combined.

3️⃣ Stack It Up
  1. Trim the tortillas into squares. Spread each tortilla with a thin layer of the seasoned beef, then stack the tortillas on top of one another. Cut the stack into 9 rectangles and carefully thread each stack onto a skewer.

4️⃣ Grill + Butter
  1. Grill the kebabs for 10–12 minutes, flipping once. Halfway through cooking, brush them generously with the garlic butter.

5️⃣ Make The Cool Stuff
  1. While the kebabs grill, stir together the Greek yogurt, drained cucumber, garlic, dill, lemon juice, and salt for the tzatziki. Toss the tomatoes, cucumber, red onion, herbs, red wine vinegar, olive oil, salt, and pepper for the salad.

6️⃣ Finish Loud
  1. Brush the hot kebabs with another round of garlic butter and serve with plenty of tzatziki and tomato-cucumber salad on the side.

Smoky beef. Crispy tortilla edges. Garlic butter dripping everywhere. Taco Thursday understood the assignment.
