Everything you need to make delicious Mexican lamb at home!
Before roasting a leg or shoulder of lamb, make a chipotle chilli marinade with pomegranate molasses, garlic cloves, Gran Luchito Chipotle Honey, olive oil, Gran Luchito Chipotle Paste, lemon thyme, black peppercorns and a pinch of salt. The combination of Chipotle Paste and Honey coats the lamb with a delicious glaze and smoky flavour.
Gran Luchito Soft Taco Wraps are perfect for wrapping all the tender, shredded lamb meat for delicious tacos or as a filling for enchiladas.
Our Mango Habañero Salsa is fresh and fruity and a delicious contrast to the flavour of lamb. Use it to top lamb tacos, lamb nachos and lamb burritos.

Yes, barbacoa is a very popular and traditional dish in Mexico typically made with a whole lamb often for special occasions. The lamb is slow roasted in a pit made in the ground for many hours until tender.
We think the key to tender lamb is slow roasting it and making sure you add liquid in the bottom of pan or slow cooker. We like to use stout in our cooking liquid!
Most likely, depending on the cut, it needs to cook longer. It is common that the meat will seem quite tough after cooking for a while. Don’t worry, keep on roasting and it will turn tender unless you are cooking a cut such as lamb chops which should be cooked to medium rare.
Yes, we recommend resting the meat for 10 minutes so the meat’s juices can redistribute before carving.
