Cooking Steps
• Finely shred baby cos lettuce. • Cut cucumber into thin sticks. • Finely chop red onion. • Roughly chop mild chorizo. • SPICY! This spice blend is hot! Add less if you're sensitive to heat. In a medium bowl, combine Mexican Fiesta spice blend and a drizzle of olive oil. Add prawns, tossing to coat.
• In a small heatproof bowl, combine onion, the white wine vinegar (for the pickle) and a good pinch of sugar and salt. • Microwave onion for 30 second bursts, until softened.
• In a large frying pan, heat a drizzle of olive oil over medium-high heat. • Cook chorizo, stirring until golden, 4-6 minutes. Transfer to a second medium bowl and cover to keep warm.
• Return frying pan to medium-high heat with a drizzle of olive oil if needed. • Cook prawns, tossing, until pink and starting to curl up, 3-4 minutes.
• Meanwhile, in a medium bowl, combine baby cos lettuce and a drizzle of the white wine vinegar and olive oil. Season. • Microwave mini flourtortillas on a plate in 10 second bursts until warmed through. • To the bowl with chorizo, add cooked prawns, tossing to combine.
• Drain pickled onion. • Bring everything to the table. Build your own tacos by topping each taco with cos lettuce, cucumber and firecracker prawns and chorizo. • Drizzle over light sour cream. Top with tomato relish and pickled onion to serve. Enjoy!
