CHIPOTLE PRAWN TACOS
Serves 4 Takes 25-30 minutes, plus marinating time
“We warn you – these tacos are so good that you’ll find it hard to stop eating them. Quite a bit to do here but we’ve suggested the best order for the prep and none of it is difficult.
There should be enough filling for about 16 small tacos. Don’t load them up too much or they’ll be hard to eat – and that would be a shame.”
