Lay tortillas down and brush tops of tortillas with a little oil.Divide bean mixture, making little indentions with the back of a spoon, for the eggs to rest, so they stay in place.

Mediterranean Chicken Kebabs - BigOven.com

Chicken Mediterranean
collsxgrillm
chicken filets diced in 1-inch cubes
red bell peppers
green bell peppers
red onion
extra virgin olive oil
juice of 1 lemon
garlic
paprika
thyme
oregano
salt
freshly ground black pepper
Mix one HALF of all ingredients for the marinade in small bowl. Place chicken in a ziplock bag and pour marinade over it. Marinade in the fridge for at least 30 minutes.Mix the other HALF of the ingredients in the same bowl pour in zip lock bag with the vegetables. Marinade for at least 30 minutes.If you are using wood skewers, while the chicken and veggies are marinating, soak the skewers in water for about 15 minutes. You need to soak wooden skewers in water for about 20- 30 minutes to keep them from igniting right there on the grill. I have also noticed that it's much easier to slide out the meat and veggies on your plate if the skewers have been soaked before grilling.Thread the chicken and peppers and onions on the skewers. I usually place about 5-6 chicken pieces, and a combo of peppers and onion in between.Heat an outdoor grill or indoor grill pan over medium-high heat. Spray the grates lightly with oil and grill for about 5 minutes on each side, or until the center is no longer pink.You can also bake this Mediterranean chicken skewers in the oven if you want to. Preheat the oven to 425 F. Place chicken skewers on roasting racks over two foil lined baking sheets and bake for about 10-15 minutes, turn over once and bake for another 10 - 15 minutes on the other side, or until they are baked through.
