• 1/4 cup olive oil
• Salt and coarse ground pepper to taste
• 1 boneless leg of lamb, about 7 pounds
• Apricot-Chipotle Baste (recipe follows)
• 1 pound crumbled goat cheese
• 1/2 pound shredded romaine lettuce
• Salsa
• 16 (6-inch) flour tortillas

1. Preheat grill to medium-high. Brush lamb with oil and season with salt and pepper. The the meat directly on the hot grill and brown on all sides. This will take about 5 minutes per side. Take the meat off the grill and attach to rotisserie rod. Cook on the rotisserie for 1 1/4 to 1 1/2 hours or until medium-rare. During the last 20 minutes of grilling, begin basting with the apricot glaze. Remove the lamb from the rotisserie. 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 and salsa.
