Instructions:
- In a large skillet, cook the ground lamb over medium heat until browned. Drain any excess fat.
- Add the ground cumin, ground paprika, garlic powder, salt, and pepper to the skillet with the lamb. Stir well to coat the meat in the spices. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes.
- In a small bowl, combine the shredded lettuce, chopped cilantro, mayonnaise, and lime juice. Mix well to make the cilantro lime slaw.
- Warm the flour tortillas in a dry skillet or microwave.
- To assemble the tacos, place a spoonful of the seasoned ground lamb onto each tortilla. Top with the cilantro lime slaw and any optional toppings you desire.
- Serve the lamb tacos immediately and enjoy!
Tips and Variations:
- If you prefer a spicier flavor, add a pinch of cayenne pepper or some chopped jalapenos to the ground lamb while cooking.
- Substitute the flour tortillas with corn tortillas for a gluten-free option.
- For added freshness, squeeze extra lime juice over the assembled tacos before serving.
- Customize your toppings by adding salsa, sour cream, or your favorite hot sauce.
