Tostadas - which means ‘toasted’ in Spanish - are deliciously crispy tortillas that act as an edible plate that you can pile high with ingredients. In this recipe we’ve opted for the fresh and delicate flavour of prawns tossed in Mexican spice for a little kick. We recommend serving everything up in the middle of your table and getting everyone to build their own!

Instructions
Preheat the oven to 200 degrees. Spread the tortillas out on a large baking tray and drizzle with a little oil and a sprinkle of salt and pepper. Set aside - we will bake them later. Trim the root from the baby gem lettuce then halve lengthways. Thinly slice widthways. Coarsely grate the carrot (no need to peel). Roughly chop the vine tomatoes.
Put the prawns in a bowl with the Mexican spice and a pinch of salt and pepper, toss to coat and set aside. Pop the tomatoes into another bowl along with the balsamic vinegar and a pinch of salt and pepper, mix to combine. Add the lettuce and carrot to another bowl and mix to combine with a pinch of salt and pepper.
Bake the prepared tortillas in the oven on the top shelf until browned and crispy, 3-4 mins. Do this in batches if necessary. TIP: Keep an eye on them to avoid burning!
Meanwhile, heat a drizzle of oil in a frying pan on medium high heat and once hot, add the prawns. Cook until golden and cooked through, 4-5 mins. IMPORTANT: The prawns are cooked when opaque in the middle.
Lay the tostadas out on a board. Pile up with gem lettuce and carrot salad, balsamic tomatoes and prawns.
Take the board to the table and crack on!
