Forget boring bowls and sad lettuce leaves. These Greek lamb salad cones are the ultimate summer show-off, packed with tender New Zealand lamb, juicy tomatoes and salty pops of feta all tucked inside a crunchy air-fried tortilla cone. They’re fresh, messy in the best way, and way too easy to eat standing up at a BBQ. Perfect for when you want something light, bright and a little bit clever for dinner.

Method

1

Preheat your air fryer to 180°C.

2

Lightly brush or spray tortillas with olive oil, sprinkle with oregano and sea salt.

3

Roll each tortilla into a cone shape and secure with a small toothpick.

4

Air fry for 5–6 minutes, turning halfway, until golden and crisp. Set aside to cool, they’ll hold their shape as they crisp up.

5

In a bowl, toss the lamb with olive oil, garlic, oregano, lemon juice, salt, and pepper.

6

Heat a pan or BBQ plate over medium-high heat and cook lamb for 2–3 minutes each side, depending on thickness, until just blushing pink inside.

7

Rest for 5 minutes, then slice thinly.

8

In a bowl, combine tomatoes, cucumber, red onion, olives, and feta.

9

Drizzle with olive oil and red wine vinegar, season, and toss gently.

10

Spoon the Greek salad into each tortilla cone, tuck slices of lamb on top, and finish with herbs.

11

Add a little dollop of yoghurt or tzatziki if you fancy, and a drizzle of honey if you’re feeling like it.
