Notes
- For these Harissa Lamb Shoulder Pita Cones, I always reach for American Lamb. It's actually incomparable to any other when it comes to taste, quality, and freshness, plus it feels great supporting local farmers! You'll find a locator on that website which is the best way to know and locate your lamb!
- Place some shredded iceberg lettuce at the bottom of the cones to prevent your pita cones from getting soggy with all the saucy goodness.
- For a party, prepare all the fillings in separate bowls and let guests assemble their own pita cones!
