Step 1.
Preheat the grill to high. Add the prawns, chipotle, sundried tomatoes, cumin and fish sauce into a food processor. Blitz until the prawns break down into a paste. If you don’t have a food processor, finely mince everything by hand until paste-like.
Step 2.
Pick half the coriander leaves and mince the rest. Using a vegetable peeler, thinly shave the cabbage, toss with the juice of ½ a lime, then season with salt. Thinly slice the avocados.
Step 3.
Add the cherry tomatoes to a baking tray and place under the grill for 5-10 mins until they blister and char. Transfer to a bowl and mash whilst still hot. Let them cool down and season with salt and the juice of 1 lime. Before serving, fold the minced coriander through.
Step 4.
Divide the prawn filling between the tortillas (around 1 heaped tbsp each) and spread into one even layer, all the way to the edges. Place a non-stick frying pan over a medium-high heat with a drizzle of oil. Once hot, cook the tacos, prawn-side down, for 2-3 mins until cooked through, then flip and cook the tortilla until charred in spots. Transfer to a plate and cover. Continue until all of them are cooked.
Step 5.
Top the tacos with cabbage, avocado, burnt tomato salsa and the remaining coriander. Serve with any remaining lime wedges.
