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:

- Salt and pepper, to taste
For the tacos:
- 8 small tortillas
- 1/2 cup crumbled feta cheese

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.
