Taquito Bite Kabobs



Serves: 6 skewers
Prep Time: 60 mins
Total Time: 70 mins

Ingredients
10 El Monterey Taquitos
6 Pearl Onions
2 Zucchini squash
2 Yellow squash
2 Red bell pepper
2 Green bell pepper
6 Mushroom
6 Cherry tomato
6 Serrano pepper
1/2 cup Pineapple apricot jam

Directions

1. Prepare and ignite grill according to manufacturer specifications and use the medium to low heat area on the grill for cooking.
2. Bring about 2 quarts of water to a boil and add about a tablespoon of salt to the water.
3. Cut El Monterey Taquitos into thirds and set aside.
4. Peel onions and cut tips, cut squash into large 1-inch cubes, and cut peppers into 1-inch squares. Dip each vegetable into boiling water for about a minute just to get them lightly blanched and allow them to cool quickly by dipping them into ice water or on a cookie sheet in the refrigerator for about 20 minutes.
5. Skewer the Taquitos and vegetables however you like alternately i.e.
{vegetable-taquito-vegetable - vegetable-taquito-vegetable-vegetable-taquito} and so on.
6. Lightly brush skewers with olive or vegetable oil and grill them up for about 2-3 minutes on each side or until desired doneness is achieved. Once the skewers are about half way done begin basting them with the jam
