LAMB STREET TACOS WITH AYURVEDIC HERBS, SPICY GUAC, & SIDES
HISTORY & LORE
Lamb tacos bring together Mexican street food tradition and Ayurvedic wisdom, blending bold, slow-cooked flavors with healing herbs. While lamb has been enjoyed in Mexican cuisine for centuries—particularly in barbacoa-style preparations—this dish elevates it with Ayurvedic ingredients that enhance digestion and balance. The spicy guacamole adds a creamy kick, while the horchata and flan round out the experience with cooling and indulgent flavors.
