Don't be put off by 'taco' - these are nothing like those packet mixes you get from the supermarket! This was great on a hot summer's evening - it requires minimal stove time and is quick and easy to prepare.

2 servings

Ingredients

  • whole
  • 12 whole peeled green prawns
  • 1 tsp cumin
  • 1 tsp chilli powder
  • 1 tsp all-spice
  • 1 tbsp olive or vegetable oil
  • whole
  • 1/2 medium onion diced
  • 1 large tomato diced
  • 1 large ear of corn kernels sliced off cob
  • 1/2 large green capsicum diced
  • handful coriander and parsley finely chopped
  • clove garlic finely chopped
  • whole
  • whole Tortillas
  • container Sour cream (or natural yoghurt)
  • slice Lime wedges
  • slice Avocado
  • slice Cucumber

Directions

  1. Mix spices and oil together, then marinate the prawns in mixture for 10 minutes.
  2. Meanwhile, heat some more oil in a frypan to medium-high. Add onion and garlic and cook for a few minutes until onion has softened. Add remaining vegetables and cook for about 5 more minutes. Remove from pan and set aside, keeping warm.
  3. In the same pan, add some more oil and then put in your prawns. I like to place them in and then turn them once during cooking so they get a nice little crust on them. Once the prawns have started turning pink, add back in your vegetable mix. Continue cooking until everything is hot and cooked through.
  4. Heat up your tortillas, then set everything out on the table. Stuff the tortillas with whatever ingredients take your fancy. Crack open a Corona (or other Mexican beer) and enjoy!
