These prawn tacos not only look beautiful and vibrant but they taste absolutely delicious and better yet, can be ready in just minutes.

All wrapped up in a tortilla with cool creamy avocado, this is a little flavour pocket rocket!

*If you can’t get your hands on Cholula Sauce simply toss your prawns in some Smoked Paprika and olive oil before grilling, it works a treat!

Method

  1. Preheat a large griddle pan over high heat.
    In a large mixing bowl combine the prawns and the Cholula sauce and salt and toss to combine.
    Cook the prawns off in batches for 2-3 minutes per batch or until cooked through and with nice char marks on them.

     

  2. While the prawns cook make the slaw. Combine all the ingredients in a mixing bowl and toss everything until the cabbage is completely covered.
    Once the prawns have cooked, set them aside while you grill the tortillas off.

  3. Once the tortillas are warm, assemble the tacos. Place some slaw down before scooping avocado into the centre and topping with prawns and lastly garnishing with spring onion and coriander.
