Tips & Tricks
- For an extra smoky flavor, consider using a charcoal grill instead of a gas grill.
- Serve the New Mexican Style Satay with a side of fresh salsa or guacamole for a complete Southwestern experience.
- If you prefer a milder version, reduce the amount of chili powder and jalapeno pepper in the marinade.
- Soaking the wooden skewers in water prevents them from burning on the grill.
- Make a double batch of the marinade and reserve some for dipping sauce.
Serving advice
Serve the New Mexican Style Satay as a main course alongside a fresh salad or grilled vegetables. Garnish with chopped cilantro and a squeeze of lime juice for an extra burst of flavor.
