Cooking Instructions
Prepare the Lamb
In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced onion and minced garlic, sauté until softened.
Add Lamb and Seasoning
Add the lamb shoulder to the skillet. Season with cumin, chili powder, salt, and pepper. Cook until the lamb is browned on all sides.
Add Anchovies and Capers
Stir in the anchovy fillets and caper berries. Cook for another 2-3 minutes until the anchovies break down.
Cook the Lamb
Transfer the mixture to a slow cooker. Add enough water to cover the lamb. Cook on low for 6-8 hours until the lamb is tender and shreds easily.
Shred the Lamb
Once cooked, remove the lamb from the slow cooker and shred it with two forks.
Assemble Tacos
Warm the taco shells. Fill each shell with shredded lamb, top with chopped cilantro and a squeeze of lime juice.
