Cooking Steps

Get prepped
1

• Set your air fryer to 200°C. • Shred baby cos lettuce (see ingredients). • Finely chop tomato. • Drain sweetcorn. • Slice lime into wedges. • Pat peeled prawns dry with paper towel.

Crumb the prawn
2

• To a shallow bowl, add Tex-Mex spice blend. In a second shallow bowl, whisk the egg. In a third shallow bowl, place panko breadcrumbs. • Dip prawns in the spice blend, followed by the egg and finally in the panko breadcrumbs. Transfer to a plate. • Heat a large frying pan over high heat. Add corn kernels and cook until lightly browned, 4-5 minutes. Set aside in a medium bowl. TIP: Cover the pan with a lid if the kernels are ā€œpoppingā€ out.

Cook the prawn
3

• Set your air fryer to 200°C. Place crumbed prawns into air fryer basket and until golden and tender, 6-8 minutes. Cook in batches if needed. • Microwave mini flour tortillas on a plate in the microwave for 10-second bursts, until warmed through. TIP: No air fryer? Return frying pan to medium-high heat with enough olive oil to coat the base of the pan. Add prawns and cook until golden, 3-4 minutes. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate to rest.

Finish & serve
4

• Bring everything to the table. Fill your tortillas with a helping of smokey aioli, cos lettuce, tomato, crumbed prawns and Cheddar cheese and top with the charred corn. • Squeeze over lime to serve. Enjoy!
