In a medium bowl mash avocado with a fork. Add cheese; stir until smooth.
Stir in catsup, horseradish, lemon peel, lemon juice, and chili powder.
On one tortilla spread 1/4 cup of the avocado mixture, leaving 1-inch border around the edges. Top with a layer of spinach. Sprinkle with a scant 2 tablespoons almonds and about 1/4 cup shrimp.
Roll up tightly. Secure with a party pick, if necessary, to prevent unrolling.
Repeat with remaining tortillas, avocado mixture, spinach, almonds, and shrimp.
Place rolled tortillas on a tray or platter. Cover and chill up to 4 hours before serving.
To serve, cut each rolled tortilla into 1-inch slices, discarding ends. Secure with party picks, if necessary. Arrange slices on a serving platter.

In a large sauce pan gently fry the onion in the olive oil until soft.
Add lamb, ginger, and coriander to the pan and cook until it changes color.
Add cumin, black pepper, cinnamon, and water to just cover the meat.
Salt to taste.
Cover and simmer gently until the meat is tender, about 1.5-2 hours.
If there seems to be a bit too much liquid, displace the lid after an hour of cooking.
Add the pears to the meat togither with almonds. Cook for a further 5 minutes or until the pears are soft.
NOTE:.
For a different twist on this you can substitute mixed vegatables, of your choice, instead of pear. It would make it more savory than sweet.
