  • 5 TIPS:
    • Head out to the BBQ instead! Thread prawns onto skewers. Grill prawns over MEDIUM-HIGH heat just until pink, turning once and brushing with hot sauce mixture.
    • When using corn tortillas, they’re easier to serve and a little sturdier when doubled up! Simply double the number of tortillas and layer 2 together for each taco.
