Instructions
- In a large bowl, add ground beef, bell pepper, onion, 2 cloves of the garlic, paprika, cumin, pepper, and salt and parsley. Mix until fully combined.
- Slice the rounded ends off each tortilla to make a square. Spread a thin, even layer of the beef mixture onto the tops of the tortillas and stack them up.
- Slice the stack into 4 even strips. Turn the stack. Run 4 skewers through the stack evenly, lengthwise.
- Cut between the skewers to make 4 rows of kabobs.
- Mix together the melted butter, 1 clove of the minced garlic, and a little chopped cilantro or parsley.
- Grill the kabobs on all sides over medium-high heat until the beef is fully cooked and the tortillas are crispy and golden. Baste them with the garlic butter as they cook.
- For the sauce, mix the Greek yogurt or mayonnaise, lemon juice and chipotle powder until smooth.
