Notes

How to make the recipe with leaner ingredients:

Use any protein. For a leaner option opt for a 93%/7% ratio or use ground turkey.
Replace a regular tortilla for a gluten free option or a low carb. alternative
Replace sour cream with greek yogurt

For evenly spaced rows, cut down the middle first and then each half down the middle again.

Use metal skewers to avoid the ends from catching fire.

Rotating the kebab frequently prevents the tortillas from burning.

To store leftovers, place them in a container in the fridge for up to 4 days.

Depending on how you cut these, you will have 6 servings, or 4 large servings.
