Alambre

The word alambre means wire in Spanish. When you think of wires, the food has to be skewed. For Mexican, the food does not come off the skewer. The word 'al' has some Arabic origin influencing this dish. In Mexico city, a typical alambre is made of green peppers, onions, meat and sometimes bacon.

This is a wonderful dish from my Mexican friend and would like to cook it for my family.
