For the wraps

Method
- For the crushed avocado, peel and de-stone the avocado and crush it in a bowl with a fork. Then mix in the red onion, coriander and lime juice, and season to taste.
- To make the salsa, add the chopped tomatoes, garlic, chilli flakes, lime juice, maple syrup, smoked paprika and coriander to a food processor, and pulse until blended but still slightly chunky, season to taste.
- Then, for the wraps, whisk together the buckwheat flour and water in a bowl to make a smooth batter. Place a non-stick frying pan over a medium heat and slowly pour a quarter of the batter into the pan and swirl around to get an even layer in the pan. Cook for 2-3 minutes on each side until golden brown on each side.
- Preheat the oven to 200°C/400°F/Gas 6. Mix together the chilli flakes, paprika, cumin, garlic granules, onion granules, thyme, and tomato purée to make a paste. Add the peppers, red onions, courgettes, aubergine and cherry tomatoes to the bowl and toss together being sure to coat them all in the paste. Transfer the vegetables to a baking tray and place in the oven for 25-30 minutes until vegetables are cooked and colouring. Finally to assemble the fajitas, spread some crushed avocado on a buckwheat wrap, place on some of the vegetable mix, spoon over some salsa and wrap it up.
