These Greek-inspired grilled lamb tacos are packed with zesty lemon, garlic, and oregano flavors, then topped with a fresh cucumber-tomato salad, creamy tzatziki, and feta cheese.

Ingredients

  • 1 lb American lamb stew meat
  • 2 tsp minced garlic
  • 1 1/2 tsp dried oregano
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • Zest of half a large lemon
  • 2 tbsp lemon juice
  • Generous pinch salt
  • Generous pinch pepper
  • 1 large cucumber, chopped
  • 12 ounces roma tomatoes, diced
  • 1/2 large red onion, sliced
  • Squeeze of lemon juice, to taste
  • Salt, to taste
  • Pepper, to taste
  • Olive oil, to taste
  • Tortillas
  • Fresh greens
  • Tzatziki
  • Feta cheese

Instructions

  1. Add the lamb, garlic, oregano, olive oil, lemon zest, lemon juice, salt, and pepper to a container. Seal and shake to coat evenly. Refrigerate and marinate for about 1 hour.
  2. Chop the cucumber, tomatoes, and red onion. Toss with lemon juice, olive oil, salt, and pepper to taste. Refrigerate until ready to serve.
  3. Preheat a grill to medium heat. Place the lamb in a grill pan and cook, stirring occasionally, for 6-10 minutes or until done. Allow the lamb to rest for 3 minutes before serving.
  4. Warm the tortillas if desired. Assemble tacos with fresh greens, grilled lamb, vegetable salad, tzatziki, and feta cheese.
  5. Serve immediately. Store leftover lamb in an airtight container in the refrigerator for 2-3 days.

Notes

  • Marinating longer, up to overnight, will deepen the flavor.
  • Use pita or flatbread instead of tortillas for a more traditional Greek-style serving option.
  • Leftover vegetable salad can be enjoyed as a side dish.
  • Store toppings separately for best texture.
