Method

Toss the cabbage in a bowl with a large pinch of sea salt and the juice of
2 of the limes. Set aside for 10 minutes to slightly pickle. Mix in the sliced radishes and most of the coriander.
Meanwhile, mash the avocado in a small bowl with the remaining lime juice, salt and ground black pepper.
Heat a griddle pan until hot. Toss the prawns in a bowl with the fajita spice mix and oil, then cook for 2 minutes on each side or until cooked through.

To serve, warm the tortillas in the microwave (or in a hot oven or dry frying pan), then top with the soured cream, pickled veg, mashed avocado, prawns and remaining coriander.
