Marinate the prawns with items marked for marination. Heat a cast Iron pan and, season with oil and grill the prawns on both sides for 2 minutes or until the prawn turn pink brushing occasionally with barbecue sauce.
Remove to a serving plate and garnish with chilli flakes and lemon slices.
In a medium pan over high heat, add olive oil and chopped onion. Sauté for about 5 minutes until onion becomes soft and translucent. Add minced garlic and continue to cook for another few minutes, stirring frequently.
Add yellow green and red bell pepper along with ground cumin and smoked paprika.
Add black cooked rice to the pan. Cook, stirring, 2-3 minutes until the mixture is thoroughly heated. Add salt and pepper to taste. Remove pan from the heat.
To assemble, set out the tortillas on individual plates. Spoon the rice mixture down the center of each tortilla. Top each with grilled prawns ,shredded purple cabbage, a bit of salsa.
Roll the tortilla up like an eggroll (fold the sides in, then roll up ), and top with more salsa, if desired.
