Chickpea Fajitas

Instructions

  1. Heat oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6 and line a baking tray with foil.

  2. Drain the chickpeas, pat dry and tip onto the prepared baking tray. Add the oil and paprika, toss to coat, then roast for 20-25 mins until browned and crisp, shaking halfway through cooking.

  3. Meanwhile, put the tomatoes and onion in a small bowl with the vinegar and set aside to pickle.

  4. Put the avocado in another bowl and mash with a fork, leaving some larger chunks. Stir in the lime juice and season well.

  5. Mix the soured cream with the harissa and set aside until ready to serve.

  6. Heat a griddle pan until nearly smoking. Add the tortillas, one at a time, charring each side until hot with griddle lines.

  7. Put everything on the table and build the fajitas: spread a little of the harissa cream over the tortilla, top with roasted chickpeas, guacamole, pickled salsa and coriander, if you like. Serve with the lime wedges for squeezing over.
