Good reasons to make prawn wrap with avocado

This Prawn Wrap with Avocado combines juicy prawns with creamy avocado for a great texture. It is very easy to customise with your favourite salad leaves or a bit of spice. You do not need to spend a long time in the kitchen to enjoy a nutritious meal. It is also a very portable dish if you need to take your lunch to work or on a picnic.

How to get prawn wrap with avocado ready

Step 1

Prepare prawns: Place the cooked prawns in a mixing bowl and squeeze half of the lime over them. Add a pinch of salt and the chilli flakes then stir gently to combine. Let the prawns sit for a few minutes so they soak up the citrus juice. Finely slice the red onion and set it aside for later.

Step 2

Mash avocado: Cut the avocado in half and remove the stone carefully. Scoop the flesh into a small bowl and mash it with a fork until it is mostly smooth. Add the remaining lime juice to the avocado to prevent it from turning brown. Season the mash with a little black pepper to enhance the flavour.

Step 3

Warm tortillas: Place a dry frying pan over medium heat for about one minute. Warm each tortilla for thirty seconds on each side until they are soft and easy to fold. Do not leave them too long as they might become brittle. Set the warm tortillas on a clean surface or plate.

Step 4

Assemble wrap: Spread the avocado mash over the centre of each tortilla and top with lettuce. Divide the prawns and sliced onion evenly between the two wraps. Add a dollop of Greek yogurt before folding the sides in and rolling them up tightly. Serve the wraps immediately while the tortillas are still soft.

Good advice for making prawn wrap with avocado

You can use frozen prawns for this Prawn Wrap with Avocado as long as you defrost them completely before starting. Pat the prawns dry with a paper towel to ensure the wrap does not become soggy. If you like more crunch, try adding thinly sliced cucumber or bell peppers to the filling. You can swap the yogurt for sour cream or a light mayonnaise if you prefer a richer taste.

Make sure the avocado is perfectly ripe so it spreads easily and provides a creamy texture. If you are preparing these in advance, wrap them tightly in foil or cling film to keep them fresh. Adding a bit of fresh coriander can also give the filling a bright and herby finish.

You may also like pasta with duck breast, soy-roasted almonds or baked sole.
