Alambres is the name in Spanish for “brochettes or skewers”. InĀ Mexico every Sunday at my mom’s there was a grilling party in the backyard. Where my family was used to prepare this recipe for chipotle pork loin alambres. This dish was served with cilantro lime rice, black beans, avocado slices, corn tortillas and homemade salsa. It was a party for the senses and the tastebuds!

Pork is my preferred meat for grilling because itĀ is a healthy option. You don’t need to add extra calories to your meals you can use easy cooking methods like grilling.Ā To add more flavor you can also useĀ spice rubs, fat-free marinades or citrus juices without adding extra fat.

Just like I did for theĀ chipotle pork loin alambres recipe where IĀ am using a Ā homemade marinade made with lime juice, chipotle pepper, garlic, cumin and oregano and then finished with few drops of olive oil.Ā Watch the video below and check out the grilling process.

Alambres are great for adding veggies, like onions and peppers which complement very nicely the pork meat and are also yummy ingredients to cook on the grill.Ā Pork is so versatile, it allows you to get creative in your outdoor kitchen.
