  • 1/4 cup Halaby Peppers, ground

  • 2 Tbsp. Kosher Salt

Directions

Once cooked, remove from oven, allow to cool slightly, and shred the meat, removing the bone and any large deposits of fat. Reserve for service.

  4. To assemble: Warm each tortilla slightly. Place 4 oz. of prepared couscous (warm or room temperature) in the middle of the tortilla. Top with 4 oz. of shredded lamb (warmed), and drizzle 3 tbsp. of Aleppo Yogurt Tahini Sauce over the top. Fold up sides and roll into burrito. Serve.
