Beef Kabobs with Avocado Tzatziki Sauce
Here’s a heart healthy recipe from the American Heart Association that’s really easy to make. Using lean hamburger to create these beef kabobs is a quick way to create the kabobs.
Ingredients
1 lb extra-lean ground beef
1/4 tsp garlic powder
1/2 tsp dried oregano (crumbled)
1/2 tsp ground cumin
1/2 tsp onion powder
1/2 tsp dried rosemary (crushed)
1/4 tsp salt
1/8 tsp pepper (freshly-ground)
Avocado Tzatziki Sauce:
1 cup fat-free, plain Greek yogurt
1/2 medium cucumber (peeled, cut into large chunks)
1/2 avocado (cut into large chunks)
1 Tbsp chopped, fresh mint
1 Tbsp fresh lemon juice
1/8 tsp salt
Instructions
1
In a food processor or blender, process all the sauce ingredients until smooth. Use immediately or cover and refrigerate for up to 3 hours.
2
In a medium bowl, using your hands or a spoon, combine the kabab ingredients. Divide the mixture into 12 portions. Shape each portion into an oblong patty on the end of a 6-inch skewer. Transfer the skewers to a large plate or baking sheet.
3
Lightly spray a grill pan or large skillet with cooking spray.
4
Cook the skewers for 5 to 7 minutes, or until the beef is no longer pink and the beef juices run clear, turning on all sides for even browning. Transfer to a serving platter.
5
Spoon the sauce over the skewers or spoon it into a bowl for dipping.
