Ingredients
- 16 soft taco wraps / mini tortillas (or 8 standard tortilla wraps)
- 3 limes
- 2 tablespoons olive or rapeseed oil
- 2 teaspoons ground cumin
- 2 teaspoons smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon chilli flakes (or to taste)
- salt and pepper
- 4 lamb leg steaks roughly 100g/3½oz each
- 2 avocados skins and stones removed
- 2 tablespoons fresh coriander chopped finely (plus extra for garnish)
- 100 g feta cheese crumbled
- seeds from 1 small pomegranate (or 100g pomegranate seeds)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven on to 180C / 160C fan/ gas mark 4 / 350F.
- Wrap the tacos up in a piece of tin foil to make a sealed parcel.
- In a large bowl, mix together the juice of one of the limes, plus the oil, cumin, paprika, chilli and a little salt and pepper.
- Place the lamb leg steaks in the marinade and turn to evenly coat. (If you have time you can leave the lamb in the marinade for up to 2 hours for extra flavour, but this is optional.)
- Heat a large non-stick frying pan or griddle pan until smoking hot and cook the lamb leg steaks for 1 minute on each side, then turn down the heat to low and cook for a further 2 minutes on each side for medium or 3 minutes on each side for well done.
- Remove the lamb from the pan and lay on a board to rest for 5 minutes.
- Now place the foil wrapped tacos in the preheated oven for 10 minutes.
- Next, make the guacamole. Simply mash the avocado, add the juice of 1 lime, 2 tablespoons of chopped coriander and a pinch of salt and stir to combine.
- Chop the remaining lime up into quarters.
- When the lamb has rested for 5 minutes, cut the lamb up into bitesize pieces.
- EITHER serve all the different components (tacos, lamb, guacamole, feta, pomegranate seeds, extra coriander, lime quarters) separately in bowls on the table for everyone to make up their own tacos.
- OR spread each taco with a little guacamole, then top with lamb, feta, pomegranate seeds and coriander. Squeeze over a little lime juice and enjoy.
