If you love tacos (who doesn’t), you’ll fall in love all over again with these Lamb Tacos! So flavourful and juicy, so easy and ready in 30 minutes! Imagine ground lamb, of course we use American Lamb that is spiced up so beautifully. Now add in some sweet pineapple salsa (mango is another fabulous salsa to make here), luscious Avocado Crema and you’re in for a treat!

Notes

Here’s why we always say buy American lamb. American Lamb is local and as fresh as can be. You’re not only buying quality, tasty lamb, but you also support the thousands of local ranchers and farmers that work long hours, pour their hearts out everyday generation after generation.
I’m always fascinated each time I visit an American Lamb ranch. The families and their stories, their history, their hard work and love for what they do is heartfelt. The lamb grown in the US is high quality!
So do ask your butcher or meat department at the grocery store before buying so you know you’re buying the best lamb there is.
You can prepare the taco meat three months in advance and freeze it. Heat up the meat in a skillet or microwave before serving.
The lamb taco Meat is great served over rice, salad, pasta, ramen, pizza, and much more! It’s a great meal prep option.
The pineapple salsa can be made two days in advance and stored in the fridge. And the avocado cream can be made up to 4 days in advance.
Tacos are best enjoyed right away so make sure you assemble before serving.
Make sure you keep extra sauces on the side! No one can say no to more flavor!
