Instructions

Char the Pepper

1

a) Preheat your oven to 240°C/220°C fan/gas mark 9.

b) Halve the bell pepper and discard the core and seeds. Slice into thin strips.

c) Put the sliced pepper onto a baking tray and drizzle with oil. Season with salt and pepper.

d) When the oven is hot, bake on the top shelf until soft and slightly charred, 14-16 mins.

Fry the Prawns

2

a) While the pepper cooks, heat a drizzle of oil in a medium frying pan on medium-high heat. Drain the prawns.

b) Once hot, add the prawns. Stir-fry until the prawns are cooked through, 4-5 mins. IMPORTANT: Wash hands and utensils after handling raw prawns. Cook so they're opaque in the middle.

Build the Flavour

3

a) Meanwhile, peel and grate the garlic (or use a garlic press).

b) Add the garlic and peri peri seasoning to the prawns. Fry for 1 min.

Finish the Prep

4

a) While the prawns cooks, trim the lettuce, halve lengthways, then thinly slice.

b) Grate the cheese.

c) In a small bowl, mix together the mayo (see pantry for amount) and sweet chilli sauce.

Warm the Tortillas

5

a) A couple of mins before you're ready to serve, pop the tortillas onto a baking tray and into the oven to warm through, 1-2 mins.

Finish and Serve

6

a) When everything's ready, lay the tortillas onto your serving plates (3 per person).

b) To make your tacos, spread the base of each with sweet chilli mayo, top with the lettuce, charred pepper and peri peri prawns.

c) Finish with your grated cheese.

Enjoy!
