Ingredients

lamb leg steaks 2 (about 350g in total)
smoked paprika 1 tsp
ground cumin 1 tsp
groundnut oil ½ tbsp
corn tortillas 4
feta 50g, crumbled
red onion ½, thinly sliced
hot sauce to serve

PEA GUACAMOLE

frozen peas 100g, defrosted
red onion ½, grated
coriander a small handful, chopped
mint a small handful, chopped
lime 1, juiced
red chilli ½, finely chopped

Method

Step 1

Put the leg steaks in a dish. Mix the spices and groundnut oil with some seasoning then rub all over the lamb. Leave to marinate while you prep the rest of the recipe.
Step 2

To make the guacamole, put the peas, onion, coriander, mint and lime juice in a food processor then pulse until combined. Add a good splash of water and pulse again. Stir in the chilli and some seasoning.
Step 3

Griddle the tortillas or warm over a gas flame and wrap in foil to keep warm.
Step 4

Heat a griddle to high then sear the lamb for 2-3 minutes each side. Rest for 3 minutes then slice. Spread some pea guacamole over each taco, add some lamb, feta and onion, then roll up. Serve with hot sauce.
