Ingredients
- 500g raw prawns, peeled and deveined
- 1–2 tsp Spiceworks Classic Mexican Chilli Lime Seasoning, to taste
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 8 small soft flour or corn tortillas
- Fresh lime wedges, to serve
For the Mango Salsa
- 1 ripe mango, peeled and diced
- 1/4 red onion, finely chopped
- 1 small jalapeño, finely chopped (optional)
- 2 tbsp fresh coriander, chopped
- 1 tbsp fresh lime juice
For the Avocado Crema
- 1 ripe avocado
- 1/4 cup plain Greek yoghurt
- 1 tbsp fresh lime juice
- 1–2 tbsp water, as needed
- Fresh coriander, for garnish
Method
- Place the peeled and deveined prawns in a mixing bowl. Add olive oil and Spiceworks Classic Mexican Chilli Lime Seasoning. Toss until the prawns are evenly coated. Refrigerate for 10 minutes while preparing the toppings.
- To prepare the mango salsa, combine the diced mango, finely chopped red onion, jalapeño, fresh coriander and lime juice in a bowl. Mix gently and set aside.
- To make the avocado crema, place the avocado, Greek yoghurt and lime juice in a blender or food processor. Blend until smooth and creamy, adding a little water if needed to achieve a drizzleable consistency.
- Heat a large frying pan over medium-high heat. Add the seasoned prawns and cook for approximately 2–3 minutes on each side, depending on their size, until pink, opaque and thoroughly cooked.
- Warm the soft tortillas in a dry frying pan for approximately 20–30 seconds on each side until heated through and slightly golden.
- Arrange the warm tortillas on serving plates and divide the cooked chilli lime prawns evenly between them.
- Spoon the fresh mango salsa over the prawns, adding a generous amount to each taco.
- Drizzle the creamy avocado dressing over the tacos and finish with fresh coriander.
- Serve immediately with fresh lime wedges for an extra burst of citrus flavour.
