Serves: 4
Preparation: 20 minutes
Cooking: 10 minutes

Ingredients

500g lamb steak, diced & trimmed
1 tbsp olive oil
2 cloves garlic, crushed
2 tbsp fresh oregano leaves, finely chopped
2 tbsp fresh mint leaves, finely chopped
Juice of 1 lemon
2 cups baby spinach
1 small red onion, thinly sliced
200g grape tomatoes, quartered
1 Lebanese cucumber, diced
120g Greek feta, crumbled
1/4 cup pitted Kalamata olives, finely chopped
8 soft mini tortillas
Tzatziki, lemon wedges and mint leaves, to serve

Method
Place lamb, oil, garlic, oregano, mint and lemon juice in a large snap lock bag. Season and shake to coat. Set aside for 10 minutes.
Heat a large non-stick frying pan over medium-high heat and cook lamb, turning, for 4-5 minutes, until browned and cooked to your liking. Set meat aside on a plate, cover with foil and rest for 5 minutes.
Meanwhile, heat taco shells or tortillas according to packet directions.
To serve, divide lamb, baby spinach, onion, tomato, cucumber, feta and olives between tacos or tortillas. Serve with tzatziki, mint leaves and lemon wedges.

Tips:
You could also serve these in hard taco shells or for a healthier option in wholemeal pita pockets
For a Moroccan twist, substitute the oregano and mint with 1 tablespoon Moroccan seasoning, and serve with red capsicum instead of olives, and goats cheese instead of feta
Lamb mince would be a great alternative to diced lamb in this recipe
