    1. We prefer to warm the tortillas individually in a small skillet or on the stove, but you can also wrap them in a damp paper towel, then foil, and warm in a 250°F oven for 10 minutes. 

    2. Layer the cabbage slaw, prawns, and taco sauce in the tortillas and top with fresh cilantro, fresh avocado, and lime. 

    3. This is a J. Besecker family favorite.
