🍳 How to Make Taco-Spiced Prawn & Avocado Rice Bowls
- Cook the rice according to the packet instructions. Drain if required, then keep warm.
- Stir the black beans and sweetcorn through the hot rice with half the lime juice and a pinch of salt.
- Pat the prawns dry and toss with the Mexican Taco Spice.
- Heat the oil in a wide frying pan over a high heat. Cook the prawns for 3–5 minutes, turning once, until pink and cooked through.
- Divide the rice between bowls. Add the tomato, avocado and hot prawns, then finish with the remaining lime juice.
🥗 Serving Suggestions
Add shredded lettuce, tomato salsa or cooling yoghurt. Replace the prawns with firm tofu cubes for a plant-based variation.
✨ Why This Recipe Works
Drying the prawns encourages light browning, and their short cooking time keeps them tender. Lime and avocado provide freshness against the smoky seasoning, while beans make the bowls substantial.
