Ingredients (serves 4):

For the lamb:

- 1 lb. lamb shoulder, cut into small pieces
- 1 tbsp. olive oil
- 1 tsp. ground cumin
- 1 tsp. smoked paprika
- 1 tsp. garlic powder
- Salt and pepper, to taste

For the avocado salsa:

- 2 ripe avocados, diced
- 1 small red onion, diced
- 1 jalapeno pepper, seeded and diced
- 1 lime, juiced
- Salt and pepper, to taste

For the tacos:

- 8 small tortillas
- 1/2 cup crumbled feta cheese
- Fresh cilantro, chopped

Cooking tips:

- For the best flavor, marinate the lamb in the spices for at least 30 minutes before cooking.
- Use a cast-iron skillet or grill pan to cook the lamb for a nice sear.
- Make sure the avocado is ripe but not too soft, or it will turn to mush when you dice it.

Instructions:

1. In a large bowl, combine the lamb, olive oil, cumin, smoked paprika, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Mix well to coat the lamb evenly.
2. Heat a cast-iron skillet or grill pan over medium-high heat. Add the lamb and cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until browned and cooked through.
3. While the lamb is cooking, make the avocado salsa. In a medium bowl, combine the diced avocado, red onion, jalapeno pepper, lime juice, salt, and pepper. Mix well to combine.
4. Warm the tortillas in the microwave or on a skillet.
5. To assemble the tacos, place a spoonful of the lamb on each tortilla. Top with a spoonful of the avocado salsa, crumbled feta cheese, and chopped cilantro.
