Crafting Perfectly Cooked Leg of Lamb in Record Time

Some say a crock pot takes too many hours to get meat soft, others say the Insta Pot just doesn't do it. Others love or hate a pressure cooker. Which have you tried out?

Street Tacos made with leg of lamb (cooked in a pressure cooker), topped with roasted salsa fresca, and crumbled Cotija cheese. The gluten-free tortillas were made from my Best Corn Tortilla recipe.

Though soft and flexible, my corn tortillas are strong enough to hold the juiciest, most mouthwatering ingredients.

Oooh, I was so excited to get a new pressure cooker recently, testing it out with a leg of lamb for Easter Sunday. We turned the shredded, flavor-loaded meat, into a few different meals, including these Street Tacos for lunch and a Mediterranean pasta dinner during the week. All in all, I have to say that using a pressure cooker has now become my favorite way of slow cooking meat in under 2 hours.

Check out my recipe down below, where I’ve included three ways to cook a leg of lamb, or a beef or pork roast, using the same ingredients. Read all my tips and notes, and if you have any questions or comments, please feel free to reach out to me.

Here’s a little video on how I press out my corn tortillas… truly one of the simplest and most delicious things you can make!

It’s super simple! I cut two separate pieces of 8x8 pieces of parchment paper. I place one piece down on the tortilla press. I place a round ball of corn dough on top of the paper. I place the other piece of parchment on top. I then press the tortilla press down. Peel the tortilla off your parchment and quickly put it onto the surface of your hot skillet or griddle to cook. Viola! You have a fresh, scrumptious, homemade tortilla!
