Instructions

2-serving instructions (4-serving modifications in red)

Wash produce before use

1

Prep the lamb

  • Cut a small corner from the ground lamb packaging and drain off any excess liquid. Transfer to a plate; pat dry with a paper towel.
  • Strip the mint leaves from the stems; coarsely chop the leaves. Set aside half for garnish.
In a large bowl, combine the lamb, ras el hanout, and half the mint. Season generously with salt and pepper and mix gently until just combined.

2

Cook the lamb and sauce

  • Peel and finely chop enough onion to measure 1 cup [2 cups].
In a large frying pan over medium-high heat, warm 1 to 2 tablespoons oil until hot but not smoking. Add the lamb mixture and cook, stirring to break up the meat, until lightly browned but not yet cooked through, 3 to 4 minutes. Add the onion and cook, stirring occasionally, until softened, 2 to 3 minutes. Stir in the tomato base and cook, stirring occasionally, until the sauce thickens and the lamb is cooked through, 2 to 3 minutes. Remove from the heat and season to taste with salt and pepper.
While the lamb and sauce cook, prepare the tzatziki and lavash.

3

Make the tzatziki

  • Peel the cucumber, if desired; cut the cucumber into ¼-inch pieces.
In a medium bowl, stir together the yogurt, cucumber, and 1 teaspoon [2 tsp] oil; season to taste with salt and pepper. Let stand while you prepare the rest of the meal.

4

Toast the lavash; assemble the tacos

On the stovetop directly over a flame, or in a dry medium frying pan over medium heat, warm the lavash, turning once, until lightly toasted, about 30 seconds per side. Alternatively, toast them in a toaster.
Spoon the lamb mixture evenly over the lavash, leaving a ½-inch border around the edges. Fold up to form tacos.

Serve

Transfer the lamb tacos to individual plates. Top with the tzatziki and sprinkle with the sumac and remaining mint. Garnish with as much sambal oelek as you like and serve any remaining tzatziki and sambal on the side.
