Ingredients
- 1 tbsp. Olive Oil
- 1 lb. Ground Lamb
- 1/2 tsp. Paprika
- 1 tsp. Pepper
- 1 tsp. Dried Oregano
- 1 tsp. Dried Basil
- 1/2 tsp. Cumin
- 1 tsp Garlic Powder
- 1/4 cup Water
- 10 Whole Wheat Tortillas
- 2 cups Lettuce shredded
- 2 cups Tomato chopped
- 2 cups Cucumber chopped
- 1 cup Kalamata Olives pitted and chopped
- 1 medium Sweet Onion sliced thin
- 1 cup Feta Cheese crumbled
- Tzatziki Sauce
Instructions
- In a large skillet, heat olive oil.
- Add the ground lamb. Break up the meat for the first minute or so it’s cooking, to make sure it’s crumbly. Cook the meat through until it is browned, about 10 minutes.
- Add the spices and ¼ cup water
- Reduce the heat to low and continue to cook for an additional 5 minutes.
- While the meat continues to cook, prepare the toppings by shredding the lettuce, chopping the cucumbers, tomatoes, olives and slicing the onions.
- Preheat the oven to 200 degrees and then turn the oven off.
- Place a few tortillas on a cookie sheet and place the cookie sheet in the warm oven. Heat the tortillas for a few minutes.
- Add a layer of lettuce, lamb, tomato, and cucumber to the each tortilla. Top with a spoonful of Tzatziki sauce, followed by a sprinkling of Kalamata olives, onions and feta cheese. Enjoy!
Notes
Tzatziki sauce can be made the day before, or at least one hour before serving the tacos. If you're looking for an even healthier version of our Grecian Lamb Tacos, use lettuce wraps instead of the tortillas.
