Method

Place the marinade ingredients into a blender with a good pinch of salt and blend until smooth. 

Pat kangaroo fillets dry with a paper towel. Add a drizzle of olive oil and season with salt and pepper. 

Heat oil in a pan over medium-high heat. Cook kangaroo fillets for 3-4 minutes on each side, turning regularly. Now add the butter and once foaming, baste and cook for a further minute or so. Rest for 5 minutes loosely covered with foil.  

In another pan warm the tacos for less than a minute on each side and keep warm in a clean tea towel.

Slice the rested meat into thin pieces. Add to the tacos and top with yoghurt, avocado, onion, coriander leaves, fetta and almond crumbs.
