Ingredient:

  • 1 pound boneless lamb sirloin, sliced 1-inch thick
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons fresh lime juice
  • 2 tablespoons fresh orange juice
  • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro
  • 1 teaspoon crushed dried oregano
  • 1 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1 teaspoon chili powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
  • 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
  • 1 onion, peeled and halved
  • 1 green bell pepper, seeded and halved
  • 1 carrot, peeled and halved lengthwise
  • 8 (6-inch) flour tortillas, warmed


Method:

  1. Place lamb in a glass dish. Whisk olive oil, lime juice, orange juice, cilantro, oregano, cumin, chili powder, salt, pepper and cayenne pepper in a small bowl. Pour over lamb, cover and marinate for 4 hours or overnight.
  2. Preheat grill.
  3. Brush onion, bell pepper and carrot with oil; season to taste with salt and pepper. Drain lamb and place on lightly oiled grill and cook on both sides, turning once, until internal temperature reaches 150°F. Grill vegetables with lamb, turning frequently, until tender.
