• To make the tacos even more authentic, you can char the tortillas on an open flame before filling them.

Storage and Serving

• Leftover lamb can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
• To reheat the lamb, you can either microwave it or warm it in a skillet over medium heat.
• Serve the lamb tacos with your favorite toppings such as salsa, guacamole, or sour cream.
