Ingredients
- extra glaze
- toasted sesame seeds
- lime wedges
Kebabs
- 2 lb ground beef
- 6 large flour tortillas
- 4 green onions
- 4 garlic cloves
- 1/3 cup cilantro
- 2 tbsp fish sauce
- 1 tsp black pepper
- 1 tsp salt
Hot Honey Glaze
- 2 tbsp hot sauce
- 1 tbsp fish sauce
- 1/3 cup honey
- 1 tbsp butter
- 1 garlic clove
- 1 tbsp lime juice
Instructions
- 1Preheat the oven to 430°F (428°F) using the fan/convection setting.
- 2In a large bowl, combine the ground beef, finely chopped green onions, minced garlic cloves, chopped cilantro, fish sauce, black pepper, and salt; mix until evenly incorporated.
- 3Trim the rounded edges off each large flour tortilla to create square pieces. Spread a thin, even layer of the seasoned meat (about 2–3 mm thick) over each tortilla.
- 4Stack the meat‑topped tortillas, then cut the stack into 4–6 equal strips. Insert wooden skewers through the center of each strip to hold them together.
- 5Place the kebab strips on a parchment‑lined baking tray and bake for 20–25 minutes.
- 6While the kebabs bake, prepare the hot honey glaze: combine hot sauce, 1 tbsp fish sauce, honey, butter, grated garlic clove, and lime juice in a small saucepan. Simmer over medium heat for 3–5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the mixture is glossy, bubbling, and slightly thickened.
- 7Remove the kebabs from the oven, brush them generously with the glaze, flip, brush the other side, and return to the oven for an additional 8–10 minutes until golden and crispy.
- 8For extra color, switch the oven to broil (grill) for the final 2–3 minutes, watching closely to avoid burning.
- 9Transfer the kebabs to a serving board, drizzle lightly with any remaining glaze, and sprinkle with sliced green onions, toasted sesame seeds, and fresh cilantro.
- 10Serve immediately with lime wedges and a small bowl of the remaining glaze for dipping.
