These Brochetas de Pescado are marinated in an adobo infused with chipotle, garlic, achiote, cumin, lime juice, and olive oil, creating a silky sauce. Whether you’re grilling outdoors or using a cast-iron grill pan indoors, the fish chunks are stacked tightly against each other resulting in juicy fish and perfect grill marks. Topped with a drizzle of the reserved adobo sauce and served with lime wedges, these skewers transport you to the beaches of Mexico’s Puerto Vallarta, where this is the beach snack of choice.
