These make an attractive presentation. The combination of beef and pork is wonderful. I looked at the 1st 3 ingredients in the marinade and decided to make a sub. I used Rotel tomatoes and green chili. Also, I cut small mushrooms in half and placed them on the skewers with the meat and peppers. It worked fine and the recipe was delicious!
