    In a large bowl, combine the ground beef and ground lamb until well mixed.

  2. 2

    Add Seasoning

    Sprinkle in the garlic powder, onion powder, dried oregano, ground cumin, paprika, salt, and black pepper over the meat mixture. Use your hands to knead the mixture until the spices are evenly distributed throughout the meat.

Cooking the Meat

    Once the meat is cooked, drain any excess fat from the skillet.
