Tip

Make ahead

The corn cups can be made up to 1 day before and stored in an airtight container.

Method

  1. Heat oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6. Using a 6cm pastry cutter, cut out circles from the tortillas. Heat the tortilla circles from the tortillas. Heat the tortilla circles for 5 secs in a microwave, then press into a mini muffin tin. Brush with the oil and bake for 8-10 mins until golden and crisp. Remove and leave to cool completely.

  2. Chop the prawns into small pieces and marinate in the lime juice for 5 mins. Put the prawns and lime juice in a bowl with the mango, red onion, chilli and coriander. Season, mix together and use to fill the corn cups just before serving. Top with coriander leaves.
