Ingredients

  1. 300 g prawns, peeled and deveined
  2. 8 small soft tortillas
  3. 1 avocado, mashed
  4. Juice of 1 lime
  5. 1/2 small red onion, finely chopped
  6. 1 small red chilli, finely chopped (optional)
  7. 1 tomato, diced
  8. 1 cup shredded lettuce
  9. 1/4 cup fresh coriander leaves
  10. 1/2 tsp ground cumin
  11. 1/2 tsp smoked paprika
  12. 1 red capsicum, sliced
  13. 2 tablespoons mayonnaise
  14. 1/2 teaspoon chilli powder
  15. 1 tbsp olive oil
  16. Salt and pepper, to taste

Method

  1. Place avocado and lime juice in a bowl and mash until almost smooth. Stir in onion, chilli (if desired), and tomato. Season to taste.
  2. To make smoky mayonnaise, combine mayonnaise, paprika, chilli powder, lime juice, and 2 teaspoons of water in a bowl. Season to taste.
  3. Heat the olive oil in a frying pan over medium-high heat. Season the prawns with the cumin, salt and pepper, then cook for 2-3 minutes, turning once, until pink and cooked through. Remove and set aside. Add the capsicum to the same pan and cook for 3-4 minutes, tossing occasionally, until lightly charred and tender.
  4. Heat the tortillas following packet directions. Divide tortillas among serving plates. Top with guacamole, lettuce, prawns, capsicum, smoky mayonnaise, and coriander. Serve with lime wedges.

Chef's Tip

Prawn soft tacos are all about freshness, texture, and bold flavour packed into every bite. Lightly spiced prawns pair perfectly with creamy avocado, crisp lettuce, fresh tomato, and zesty lime, creating a balanced mix of richness and freshness. Soft warm tortillas keep the dish relaxed and easy to eat, while smoky spices and fresh herbs bring vibrant flavour that complements the natural sweetness of the prawns beautifully.
