Take a baking dish and spread the cream cheese and the taco seasoning in the dish. Place the chicken on top of the seasoning. Coat this with taco sauce, as much as desired. Then, add a layer of shredded cheese. Bake this in an oven for about 20 minutes at a temperature of 350 F. Finally, garnish with the rest of the ingredients and serve with tortillas.

First, take the steamed prawns in a food processor and mince them. Add a little water if required. Put the prawns in a pan after draining them.
