TACO MAKING INSTRUCTIONS:
Prepare Soft Tortillas:
Warm the number of corn and/or flour tortillas according to the packet instructions.
Place them in a tortilla warmer or wrap them in a clean tea towel to keep warm.
Make Taco Shells:
In a medium pot or frying pan (with at least a 7 cm depth), heat enough vegetable oil to reach 177-180°C (use a candy thermometer to check the temperature).
Place 1 tortilla in the heated oil to soften.
Using tongs, gently fold the tortilla to create a taco shell shape, holding it in place as the bottom half cooks to a golden crisp (~2 minutes).
Flip the shell and cook the other side for an additional ~2 minutes.
Lift the taco shell out and place it upside down on a paper towel-lined plate to drain.
Repeat, ensuring the oil stays at the correct temperature (177-180°C) and place the taco shells in a paper towel-lined covered dish to keep warm.
Assemble the Tacos:
Place the warmed tortillas or taco shells on the table with the bowls of hot and cold taco fillings.
Add Margarita chargrilled prawns, a squeeze of lime, pickled red onions, shredded cabbage, thinned sour cream, crumbled feta, and diced avocado (optional).
Serve with optional sides like Mexican Rice, Mexican Pinto Beans, and Salsa Verde or Salsa Fresca.
