Ingredients:

Directions:

  1. Preheat grill to medium-high. Brush the leg of lamb with oil, season with salt and pepper and place directly on the grill to brown on all sides, about 5 minutes each side. Remove leg and attach to rotisserie rod. Let the lamb cook on the rotisserie for 1 1/4 to 1 1/2 hours or until just cooked to medium-rare doneness. During the last 20 minutes of grilling, begin basting with the glaze. Remove the lamb from the grill and baste again with the glaze and let rest for 20 minutes.
  2. Slice the lamb across the grain into 1/4-inch thick slices. Serve folded in warm tortillas with shredded romaine, goat's cheese, charred corn guacamole and tomato salsa.
  3. Apricot-Chipotle Baste:
  4. 2 tablespoons canola oil
  5. 1 large red onion, coarsely chopped
  6. 3 cloves garlic, coarsely chopped
  7. 4 cups red wine vinegar
  8. 3 cups sugar
  9. 1/2 pound dried apricots, soaked for 1/2 hour in warm water and chopped
  10. 2 tablespoons chipotle pepper puree
  11. Preheat grill or use side-burners of grill. In a saucepan combine oil, onion, garlic, vinegar and sugar. Cook until the sugar is dissolved and the vinegar is reduced by half. Add chopped apricots and cook for 10 minutes.
  12. Transfer mixture to a food processor and add chipotles. Puree until smooth. Return to pot. Use to baste rotisserie leg of lamb.
  13. Salsa Cruda:
  14. 6 large tomatoes, diced
  15. 1/2 large red onion, diced

  20. 1 lime, juiced
  21. Salt and freshly ground black pepper
  22. 1/4 cup olive oil
  23. Combine all ingredients in a bowl and let sit at room temperature for 30 minutes before serving.

  27. 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
