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.

Frequently Asked Questions

Lamb mince is the best choice for this recipe. It’s quick to cook, easy to season evenly, and does a great job soaking up all the bold Mexican spices like garlic, paprika, cayenne, and ancho chilli. The lamb mince’s fat content also helps keep the inside juicy and flavourful without drying out, which makes it perfect for a toastie that needs to be both rich and satisfying.  

Yes, our Mexican Lamb Toastie has a medium-level kick, enough to give it depth and flavour without overwhelming spice. The heat mostly comes the cayenne chilli powder and ancho chilli, which creates a mild smokiness rather than intense heat. If your preference tends to be milder, you can use less or skip the cayenne altogether and choose a sweeter smoked paprika instead. On the other hand, if you enjoy spice, you can turn up the heat by adding fresh chopped chillies, a hint of hot sauce, or even a pinch of chilli flakes when cooking your lamb. It’s easily to customisable depending on your spice tolerance.
