- Make these gluten free by using a gluten free panko and swapping the tortillas for your favourite gluten free brand.
- If you don't like prawns, you could make crispy chicken or tofu instead. The method would be the same, but cooking time would vary.
- Want even more spice on your tacos? Add a drizzle of sriracha before serving.
- You can make everything in advance and then just good the prawns when you are ready to eat.
- Don't forget to warm the tortillas before filling. You can do that in a dry frying pan for about 30 seconds each side.
