Cumin Lime Beef Kabobs with Zucchini and Onion

Aren’t kabobs just so…summer-y?  I got this recipe from a cooking class I took a number of years ago, and I’m in love with the bold flavors.  The cumin lime combination is amazing, and adding the grilled onion and zucchini completes the whole thing.

This is so easy to whip together, and only needs to marinate for an hour, which makes it the perfect dish for a summer weekend.

If you are using wooden skewers, don’t forget to soak them for an hour or so ahead of time.  But if you’re ready to take the leap, I’d recommend investing in some re-usable metal skewers: you can stuff more on them, you don’t have to soak them, and most importantly…they don’t poke holes in your garbage bag.
