In a separate bowl mix the Zespri SunGold kiwi with all the vegetables, lime juice, garlic powder and seasoning. Set to one side.
Heat a griddle or frying pan and add a little oil. Cook the prawns for a couple of minutes each side until they are cooked through. Meanwhile heat the tacos in the oven or heat them individually in a dry frying pan, cooking for a few seconds each side.
