Take the best of New Zealand lamb and marry with the smokey flavours of Mexico for a dinner that the family will request again and again. Serve with lashings of guacamole and top with pickled onion to cut through the rich and smokey flavours of the lamb. Leave the sour cream out if you're after a dairy-free option.
