Chipotle beef skewers

For summer get-togethers, barbecues, informal parties these chipotle beef skewers are perfect. You can marinate them hours ahead   the grilling only takes 10 minutes or so. Serve them tucked into flat bread  and/or with salsa. I used really spicy chipotle paste - if you’re making them with normal ones then swap the quantity of the tomato purée with the chipotle paste.
