"As viscous as motor oil swirled in a swamp, redolent of burnt bell peppers nested in by incontinent mice and a finish reminiscent of the dregs of a stale can of Coca-Cola that someone has been using as an ashtray. Not a bad drink, though."--Excerpt from "The Moose Turd Wine Tasting" by T. A. Nonymous

Step 1
In a resealable plastic bag combine chili powder, garlic salt, cumin, and oregano. Add meat pieces, a few at a time; shake to coat. Thread meat onto skewers*, leaving a 1/4 inch between each piece.

Step 2
Grill meat skewers, covered, over medium heat 8 to 12 minutes or until meat is slightly pink in center, turning skewers once or twice during grilling.

Step 3
Meanwhile, cook orzo according to package directions, adding corn the last minute of cooking. Drain in a colander. Rinse; drain again. In a large bowl combine orzo mixture, bell pepper, onion, and tomatoes.

Step 4
For dressing: In a screw-top jar combine lime zest and juice, 2 Tbsp. olive oil, the cilantro, and 1/2 tsp. salt. Cover and shake well. Pour dressing over orzo mixture; toss to coat. To serve, arrange Corn and Orzo Salad on a large platter. Top with meat skewers and, if desired, additional cilantro. Serve with lime wedges. Serves 6.
