Greek tacos
Mix the meat with the herbs, spices, onion, garlic, chilli and feta.Season with salt and pepper and mix thoroughly.
Divide the meat into portions of about 75 g each, and press each portion out onto a tortilla so it covers the whole tortilla. Prepare them all before you start frying.
Heat a splash of oil in a frying pan and fry the tacos for a couple of minutes over a good high heat, – meat side down. Press them down firmly with a spatula or similar for the first little while. Depending on the size of your pan, you can fry one or two at a time.
Then flip them over and heat the tortilla side for about a minute.Set them aside and, if you like, keep them warm in the oven at about 80°C until they are all done.
Top the warm tacos with the creamy cucumber salad, fresh lettuce and tomatoes.Season with freshly ground pepper.
