What To Serve With Mexican Lamb Toastie
Our Mexican Lamb Toastie is a bold, rich, packed with spice, so pairing this dish with the right sides can help balance out the meal. A zesty lime-dressed slaw works beautifully; shredded cabbage, carrot, and red onion tossed with lime juice, coriander, and a pinch of salt to cut through the richness of the lamb. For something heartier, loaded fries or dirty nachos topped with guac, sour cream, and jalapeños complement the lamb’s heat and spice. A side of charred corn with chipotle butter or even a simple tomato and avocado salad brings freshness and contrast.
