Spiced Lamb Fillet Tacos with Chipotle Sour Cream

35 Minutes | easy | Serves 4

Lamb neck fillet is a quick cook cut that’s perfect for the BBQ: give it a rub with spices then cook it over medium-high heat for a tasty crust and tender pink meat. We love to chop it and pile it into tacos with a smoky chipotle sour cream and plenty of fresh herbs.

  • 2 x lamb neck fillets weighing approx 400g each
  • 1 tablespoon chilli flakes
  • 1 tablespoon cumin seeds
  • 1 tablespoon coriander seeds
  • 1 teaspoon fennel seeds
  • Around 2 teaspoons chipotles in adobo (finely chopped) or chipotle hot sauce (or to taste)
  • 250g sour cream
  • Large handful coriander, finely chopped
  • 1 small onion, finely diced
  • Corn tacos, to serve
  • Hot sauce, to serve
  • Lime wedges, to serve
