• active time: 20 minutes
• total time: 30 minutes

Ingredients

2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil

1 small yellow onion (finely diced)

2 cloves garlic (minced)

2 tablespoons fresh oregano leaves (chopped (or 2 teaspoons dried)

1 lb. ground lamb

1/2 teaspoon kosher salt

1/4 teaspoon black pepper

1/2 cucumber (peeled, seeded, and grated)

1 cup Greek yogurt

1/4 teaspoon kosher salt (more if needed)

1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil

1 small garlic clove (minced)

1 tablespoon chopped fresh dill

1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice (from about 1/2 of a small lemon)

4 Mission® Super Soft Flour Tortillas (warmed)

1/2 cucumber (diced)

1 cup fresh tomatoes (diced)

1/2 cup red onion (diced)

4 oz. feta cheese (crumbled)

Directions

To cook the lamb: Heat the olive oil (2 tablespoons) in a nonstick skillet and cook the yellow onion over medium-high heat until softened and beginning to brown (about 2 minutes). Add the minced garlic and chopped oregano (2 tablespoons) and sauté until fragrant (about 30 seconds). Add the lamb and cook completely, breaking it up as you go (about 5 minutes). Season with 1/2 teaspoon of kosher salt and 1/4 teaspoon of black pepper.

To make the Tzatziki Sauce: Squeeze as much water out of the grated cucumber as possible using a clean kitchen towel (see notes). In a small bowl, mix together the Greek yogurt (1 cup), 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt, 1 tablespoon olive oil, 1 minced small clove of garlic, fresh chopped dil (1 tablespoon)l, and lemon juice (1 tablespoon). Add the cucumbers and stir.

To assemble the tacos: Spread 1/4 cup of the tzatziki sauce on each tortilla, followed by 1/4 of the lamb mixture, and the diced cucumber, fresh tomatoes, and red onion divided evenly. Finish with 1 oz. of crumbled feta on each taco.

Serve immediately, wrapped in foil or held together with a toothpick if desired.
