Instructions
  1. Prepare Lamb: Sear Lamb Shoulder in a Dutch oven until browned on all sides. Remove lamb and set aside. Sauté Onion and Garlic in the same pot until softened. Deglaze with Red Wine, scraping up any browned bits. Return Lamb to the pot, add Lamb Stock, Rosemary, and Thyme. Bring to a simmer, then cover and braise in a 325°F (160°C) oven for 3-4 hours, or until the lamb is very tender. Shred the lamb with two forks.
  2. Prepare Frybread: In a large bowl, combine Frybread ingredients. Knead until a smooth dough forms. Let rest for 30 minutes.
  3. Divide the dough into 4 equal pieces. Roll each piece into a thin circle.
  4. Heat Duck Fat in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Fry each frybread for 3-4 minutes per side, until golden brown and crispy. Drain on paper towels.
  5. Prepare Roasted Corn & Black Bean Salsa: Toss Corn kernels with Olive Oil and roast in a 400°F (200°C) oven for 15-20 minutes, or until slightly charred. Combine roasted Corn, Black Beans, Red Bell Pepper, Red Onion, and Lime Juice in a bowl.
  6. Prepare Smoked Paprika Crema: In a small bowl, combine Crème Fraîche, Smoked Paprika, and Lime Zest. Mix well.
  7. Assemble Tacos: Place a frybread on each plate. Top with shredded Lamb, Roasted Corn & Black Bean Salsa, and a generous dollop of Smoked Paprika Crema. Serve immediately.
