Prepare your charcoal grill for direct grilling over medium heat (350–450°F) and allow it to preheat for 10–15 minutes. Brush the grates with oil or cooking spray.
Once hot, grill kebabs over direct medium heat turning once. Keep the lid closed as much as possible. Using an instant read thermometer, grill until the internal temperature reaches 165°F, about 10–12 minutes. Remove from grill and baste with your favorite BBQ sauce.
Garnish with fresh cilantro and lime wedges and dig in!
