Lamb Preparation

Toppings

Method

Lamb Cooking

1

Prepare the Lamb

In a large bowl, combine minced garlic, cumin, oregano, salt, black pepper, and lime juice. Rub this mixture all over the lamb shoulder and let it marinate for at least 1 hour, preferably overnight.

2

Slow Cook the Lamb

Place the marinated lamb shoulder in a slow cooker. Pour in the beef broth. Cover and cook on low for 8 hours or until the lamb is tender and easily pulls apart with a fork.

Toppings Preparation

3

Prepare the Toppings

While the lamb is cooking, slice the cebollas and grill them until they are soft and slightly charred. Roast the Anaheim pepper until the skin is blistered, then remove the skin and slice it. Drain and rinse the chickpeas.

4

Prepare the Avocado

Slice the avocados just before serving to keep them fresh.

Assembly

5

Assemble the Barbacoa

Once the lamb is cooked, shred it using two forks. Warm the tortillas in a dry skillet. Serve the shredded lamb on tortillas and top with grilled cebollas, sliced Anaheim pepper, chickpeas, and avocado.
