  5. Combine mayonnaise, sour cream, lime juice and 2 tablespoons of warm water in a small bowl. Season with salt and pepper. Place cabbage, corn, carrot, 1/3 cup of the coriander and the remaining chilli in a large bowl. Toss gently to combine.
  6. Place tortillas on serving plates. Divide slaw among tortillas. Top with prawns. Sprinkle with the remaining coriander. Drizzle with dressing. Fold tortillas to enclose filling. Serve with lime wedges.
