Susalia

The alambre is one of the most popular dishes in Mexico and can be found in taquerías and Mexican restaurants. The dish consists of some protein with onion, bell pepper, cheese, and more.

Although it may seem hard to believe, alambre is inspired by a dish from the Middle East: the shish kebab! This recipe arrived in our country thanks to migration and began to be prepared on large skewers, which is why it’s called alambre!

On this occasion, we gave it a twist and prepared it al pastor. Additionally, it is accompanied by Susalia® Tostadas, which contain inulin and prebiotics that help you have a more balanced diet, give them a try!
