💰Cheaper: white onion

Green onion is milder and adds freshness.

avocado

🥗Healthier: hummus

💰Cheaper: mashed peas

Hummus provides creaminess with fewer calories.

Marinate quail in Excalibur's argentinian barbecue marinade using a vacuum tumbler for about 30 minutes.

Preheat the barbecue to 345 degrees Fahrenheit.

Cook the marinated quail on the barbecue until the internal temperature reaches 160 degrees Fahrenheit.

Move the quail to a sear station to achieve a nice black crispiness.

Plate the quail and top it with a simple garden veggie salad (encelada) made from tomatoes, avocados, cilantro, lime, and red onions.

Sprinkle some more of the sweet chipotle lime rub on top before serving.

Consider cutting the breasts out before plating for easier access to the meat.
