Tips

• You could also serve these in hard taco shells or for a healthier option in wholemeal pita pockets.
• For a Moroccan twist, substitute the oregano and mint with 1 tablespoon Moroccan seasoning, and serve with red capsicum instead of olives, and goats cheese instead of feta.
• Lamb mince would be a great alternative to diced lamb in this recipe.
