Ingredients Needed

  • 500g lamb mince or diced lamb
  • 1 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1 teaspoon ground coriander
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 red bell pepper, sliced
  • 1 zucchini, sliced
  • 1 red onion, sliced
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 4 large tortillas
  • Fresh herbs (cilantro or parsley)
  • Optional: yogurt or tahini for serving

Preparation Steps

Start by preparing the roasted vegetables. Preheat your oven to 200°C (390°F). Toss the sliced bell pepper, zucchini, and red onion with 1 tablespoon of olive oil, salt, and pepper. Spread them on a baking sheet and roast for about 20-25 minutes until tender and slightly caramelized.

While the vegetables are roasting, prepare the spiced lamb. Heat the remaining tablespoon of olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the lamb and cook until browned. Stir in the cumin, coriander, paprika, cinnamon, salt, and pepper. Cook for another 5-7 minutes until the lamb is fully cooked and fragrant.

Once both components are ready, warm the tortillas in a dry skillet or microwave. Assemble the tortillas by placing a bed of roasted vegetables on each, then topping with the spiced lamb. Garnish with fresh herbs and add a dollop of yogurt or tahini if desired.

Serving Suggestions

Serve these flavorful tortillas with a side of mixed greens or a simple cucumber salad. They are perfect for a quick lunch or a casual dinner. For added heat, include sliced chili peppers or a dash of hot sauce.
