Prawn tacos
A sunny day calls for prawn tacos.
Watch the videoThis is exactly how I build a meal with my Nourish3 Method.
Protein from the prawns and pumpkin seeds for steady energy and muscle support. Healthy fat from the avocado and seeds for fullness. Fibre from the avocado, tortillas, shallots and coriander for your gut.
That's around 21g of protein and 8.5g of fibre per person. Add a side of my creamy black beans and a little salad and you're at about 27g of protein and 16.5g of fibre. Full, focused and no snack spiral an hour later. Olé!
The recipe
Serves 2 · Metric, with cups in brackets- 150g cooked prawns
- 35g (¼ cup) toasted pumpkin seeds
- 50g (⅓ cup) sliced shallots or red onion
- A big handful of coriander, chopped (about 1 cup)
- 4 small corn tortillas
- 1 avocado, sliced
- 1 tsp ume plum vinegaror a squeeze of lime or lemon and a pinch of salt
In a bowl, toss together the prawns, shallots, pumpkin seeds and coriander.
Add a few dashes of ume plum vinegar (or the lime and salt) and toss until well combined.
Warm the tortillas in a dry pan until soft and lightly toasted.
Spoon the prawn mix onto each tortilla and top with sliced avocado. Any leftover mix is lovely eaten with a spoon.
My Nourish3 Method is simple: protein, healthy fat and fibre whenever you eat. This one already has all three: protein, healthy fat and fibre. For an even bigger plate, add a scoop of creamy black beans and a simple salad.
