In the US, they were first popularized by the Rubio's fast-food chain, and remain most popular in California, Colorado, and Washington.

Marinade for Kabobs

Marinade for Kabobs

This Marinade for Kabobs is very versatile. You can also use it for chicken or pork. Sometimes, I buy meat and put it in a ziplock bag and freeze it with the marinade. This makes it easy on the day you grill it. As it thaws it continues to marinate. I marinated these beef kabobs for 24 hours. The longer the better. They were tender and delicious.
