Yield 15 servings

Number Of Ingredients 21

2 lb boneless, skinless chicken thighs
2 lb skirt steak
2 lb boneless pork shoulder, thinly sliced
2 ½ tablespoons salt, divided
1 ½ tablespoons black pepper, divided
2 tablespoons paprika
2 tablespoons chili powder
2 tablespoons cumin
6 cloves garlic, minced
½ cup lime juice, plus more for serving
2 large white onions, halved
1 large white onion, sliced
1 green bell pepper, sliced
1 red bell pepper, sliced
1 yellow bell pepper, sliced
2 tablespoons olive oil
10 corn tortillas, medium
1 cup guacamole
1 cup sour cream
1 cup pico de gallo
3 wooden skewers

Steps:

  • Slice the skirt steak into roughly 3-inch (7-cm) pieces. Transfer the pieces to a medium bowl.
  • Thinly slice the pork shoulder, then transfer the pieces to a separate medium bowl.
  • Pound the chicken thighs flat, then slice them in quarters. Transfer the pieces to a third medium bowl.
  • In a small bowl, combine 2 tablespoons salt, 1 tablespoon pepper, paprika, chili powder, cumin, garlic, and lime juice. Stir until there are no lumps.
  • Evenly divide the marinade among the 3 bowls of chicken, steak, and pork.
  • Toss the meats until they are evenly coated, then refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
  • Preheat the oven to 300°F (150°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • Place 3 onion halves in the middle of the baking sheet, then insert a skewer in each onion, evenly spaced, near the inner edges.
  • Thread a piece of chicken onto one skewer, then a piece of steak onto the second, followed by a piece of pork onto the third. Repeat with the rest of the meat.
  • Secure another onion half onto the tops of the skewers to hold the towers together.
  • Bake for about 1½ hours, until the meat is slightly brown on the edges.
  • Increase the oven temperature to 450°F (230°C).
  • On one side of the baking sheet, toss the bell peppers and sliced onion with the remaining ½ tablespoon of salt, remaining ½ tablespoon of pepper, and the oil.
  • On the other side of the baking sheet, spread out the tortillas. Cover the tortilla side with foil.
  • Bake for 15 minutes, until the edges of the meat and the vegetables are slightly charred.
  • Slice your meat of choice into a tortilla, add vegetables, and top with guacamole, sour cream, pico de gallo, and a squeeze of lime.
  • Enjoy!
