Ingredients

Main Ingredients

1 pound ground lamb
3 tablespoons harissa paste
1 tablespoon olive oil
8 pieces small corn tortillas warmed
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1 teaspoon ground coriander
1 clove garlic minced
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper freshly ground

Mint Yogurt Slaw

1 cup plain Greek yogurt
1 cup cabbage thinly sliced
1/2 cup carrot grated
1/4 cup fresh mint leaves chopped
1 tablespoon lemon juice freshly squeezed
1/2 teaspoon salt

Instructions

1 In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Add minced garlic and sauté until fragrant, about 1 minute.
2 Add ground lamb to the skillet, breaking it apart with a spatula. Cook until browned, about 5-7 minutes.
3 Stir in harissa paste, ground cumin, ground coriander, salt, and black pepper. Cook for another 3-4 minutes until well combined and heated through.
4 While the lamb is cooking, prepare the mint yogurt slaw. In a medium bowl, mix Greek yogurt, lemon juice, and salt until smooth.
5 Add sliced cabbage, grated carrot, and chopped mint leaves to the yogurt mixture. Toss everything together until the vegetables are well coated.
6 Warm the corn tortillas in a dry skillet or microwave.
7 Assemble the tacos by placing a generous scoop of the harissa lamb mixture onto each tortilla.
8 Top with a dollop of mint yogurt slaw and serve immediately.
