These tacos come in hot with seasonal salsa and wasabi avocado
This prawn taco recipe features an easy seasonal salsa to add heat to the classic prawn taco. Effortlessly puree avocados using a food processor or blender to create a mouth-watering avocado wasabi puree – the perfect addition to the salsa!
We used the Zyliss Easy Pull Food Processor for this recipe to make perfectly pureed wasabi avocado. This innovative manual food processor is a must-have kitchen gadget that cuts prep time in half. You can also use it to mix, blend and dice. Here are some delicious, mouth-watering sauce and condiment ideas to try:
- Pesto
- Salsa Verde
- Hummus
- Sauce Vierge
- Guacamole
The Zyliss food processor is so easy to use that you can also utilise it to chop nuts, mix spices for a dry rub or curry paste, or make breadcrumbs and stuffing making. See full details of the wasabi avocado recipe below.
