Alambres is the name in Spanish for “brochettes or skewers”. In 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!

Notes
Pork is my preferred meat for grilling because it is a healthy option. You don’t need to add extra calories to your meals you can use easy cooking methods like grilling. To add more flavor you can also use spice rubs, fat-free marinades or citrus juices without adding extra fat.
Just like I did for the chipotle pork loin alambres recipe where I am using a homemade marinade made with lime juice, chipotle pepper, garlic, cumin and oregano and then finished with few drops of olive oil. 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. Pork is so versatile, it allows you to get creative in your outdoor kitchen.
There are many flavors that go with pork, and it is very easy to get creative on the grill this summer for your everyday meals. At my home grilling is a must-do activity in the summer and being able to share new and delicious grilling options with pork is a great way to celebrate this time of year. Because who says that us ladies cannot grill. We are master grillers too!
