In a bowl, add chicken mince, bell peppers, seasonings, and mix well.
Add some olive oil to the mixture and keep it aside.
Slice the ends of the tortillas to give them a square shape.
Take one tortilla, spread a thin layer of the mince mixture, and place another tortilla on top. Repeat until all the tortillas and mince are used, ensuring the last layer is mince.
Cut the layered tortillas diagonally, flip them, lay them flat, and place them adjacent to each other.
Insert skewers and cut them diagonally again.
Brush a sheet pan with the tomato butter glaze.
Place the kebabs on the pan and paint them well with the glaze again.
Preheat the oven to 200°C and bake the kebabs for 30-35 minutes.
Combine butter, tomato paste, honey or maple syrup, dried parsley or oregano, and a pinch of salt in a pan.
Simmer on low heat until the butter melts and everything is incorporated.
Mix some of the tomato butter glaze with yogurt or sour cream and add lime juice to thin it out.
Taste and adjust with salt, pepper, or additional honey or maple syrup for sweetness.
Sprinkle chopped fresh parsley on top.
Ensure the bell peppers are squeezed well to remove excess moisture before mixing them with the chicken mince.
Use high-protein tortillas for a healthier option, but regular tortillas work just as well.
For a smokier flavor, you can grill the kebabs instead of baking them.
Adjust the seasoning and herbs to your taste preferences.
If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for 30 minutes before use to prevent burning in the oven.
