Mix together the sour cream, lime zest and juice to taste, salt pepper and coriander. Set aside. Finely dice the avocado and chilli and season with salt and a squeeze of lime juice.
Wrap the tortillas in foil and heat in the oven.
Marinate the prawns with the spices, olive oil and season with salt. Allow to marinate for about ½ hour.

Heat the frypan and add the marinated prawns and cook for a few minutes until cooked through. Add the fried onion and season with a squeeze of lime.
To assemble, take a warm tortilla, place a little red cabbage in the base, place a few prawns on top then add a dollop of sour cream (or sour cream with chipotle sauce) and a sprinkle of coriander and chopped avocado.
