👉 A skewer is a type of meat or fish that is often used in South American and Mexican cuisine. It is typically made from marinated pork or beef, sliced into thin strips or cubes, and then braised in a variety of seasonings such as chili peppers, garlic, onions, and spices until tender. Skewers are commonly used for barbecuing meats like chicken, fish, and pork, or to add flavor to salads, soups, and stews.
