    Recipe Introduction


    Australia Day is celebrated on January 26th

    List of Ingredients




    1 pound leg of lamb, thinly sliced into strips
    2 tablespoons lime juice
    2 tablespoons olive oil, divided use
    1 clove garlic, minced
    1/2 teaspoon chili powder
    1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
    2 bell peppers (any color), thinly sliced
    1 onion, thinly sliced
    8 flour tortillas, warmed

    Recipe



    In a medium bowl, or self-sealing plastic bag, combine lamb, lime juice,
    one tablespoon of the olive oil, garlic, chili powder, and cumin (and
    salt and pepper to taste, if desired). Stir or seal bag and turn to coat
    meat with marinade. Marinate at room temperature for 10 minutes, or
    cover and refrigerate for up to 8 hours. To cook, heat a large nonstick
    skillet over medium-high heat. Add lamb strips with marinade and cook
    for 3 to 5 minutes, until lamb strips are browned on the outside and
    slightly pink on the inside, stirring occasionally. Remove lamb from
    skillet and reserve. Add the remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil with the
    bell peppers and onion, and cook over medium-high heat for 3 to 5
    minutes, or until vegetables are tender. Return reserved lamb to pan and
    cook over medium heat, until mixture is warmed through, stirring
    occasionally. To serve, spoon some of the warm lamb and vegetables into
    the middle of a tortilla and top with Pico de Gallo (see recipe below)
    and sour cream or plain yogurt, if desired.

    Notes:


    For an easy Pico de Gallo, stir together 2 cups chopped tomatoes, 1/2
    cup chopped onion, 2 small fresh jalapeño peppers (seeded and chopped),
    2 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro, 1 clove garlic (minced), and 1
    tablespoon lime juice.
