Description

Ingredients

• 3.5 oz / 100 g raw prawns (peeled and deveined)
• 2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil, separated
• 2 garlic cloves, minced
• Salt and pepper
• 4 flour tortillas (extra soft ones, if you can find them)
• Oil spray
• ⅓ cup mayonnaise (preferably whole egg)
• 3 tbsp sour cream
• 2 chipotle chilies + 1 tbsp sauce from 1 can of chipotles in adobo
• 2 tbsp lime juice
• ½ tsp salt
• ½ cup cherry tomatoes, finely diced
• ¼ cup cilantro / coriander leaves, roughly chopped
• ¼ cup red onion, finely diced
• ½ tbsp olive oil
• ½ tbsp lime juice
• Salt and pepper
• ½ cup very finely shredded green cabbage (or lettuce)

Directions

• Dice the prawns into ⅓ / 1cm pieces. Combine all Prawn ingredients in a small bowl and set aside while you prepare the other components.
• Preheat oven to 180C / 350F.
• Get a rack out of the oven and place it on two bowls to elevate it off the worktop surface.
• Cut 3 / 7.5cm rounds out of the tortillas (I usually get 4 out of each).
• Brush generously with water (this makes them soft and pliable). Place on a plate in single layers (i.e. not overlapping) with a wet paper towel between each layer. Microwave for 15 to 20 seconds, until hot and pliable.
• Drape each piece over the wires of the oven rack. Because they are floppy, they will just drape into shape. Work quickly as when they cool, they will stiffen (wet again and microwave them if this happens). (See photo below)
• Spray with oil then bake for 5 to 7 minutes until golden and crispy. Remove from oven and set aside to cool.
• Combine ingredients in a small food processor and whizz until combined. Alternatively, finely chop the chipotle then hand mix with the other ingredients.
• Combine ingredients in a small bowl and mix.
• Heat a heavy based fry pan over high heat until screaming hot. Add the prawns and cook for 40 seconds, until just starting to brown on the outside. The pieces are so small they will cook really quickly. Remove from pan.
• Dollop some Adobo Chipotle Sauce into a Mini Taco Shell. Top with shredded cabbage, Pico De Gallo and some Prawns.
