mallet until flflat (but not broken). - Sprinkle with Weber Karoo Chop Spice directly onto the squid and mix by hand to incorporate.

per side, until lightly golden. Fry in small batches. Do not overcrowd the pan. - Remove from oil and place on kitchen towel. Season with salt flflakes.
- Build a wrap with lettuce, tomato, onion, avocado, the fried calamari and some green sauce.
