Introduction to Lao Style Tortilla Kebab Skewers
Tortilla kebab skewers are a viral TikTok trend, with creators making endless variations. I decided to give it a Lao twist, inspired by the flavors of Lao sausage. Each layer is filled with a seasoned meat mixture packed with aromatics. The tortillas don’t just hold it together since they add a chewy bite and flaky texture in every layer.

This recipe is also a great shortcut if you want the taste of Lao sausage but don’t have the time or hog casing to make it traditionally. For the full Lao sausage recipe, you can find it here.
