Method

1. In a large mixing bowl, add the dry ingredients for the batter and mix well.

2. Gradually add water and whisk until smooth. Leave the batter to rest for 5 minutes.

3. Heat a heavy-based pan over medium flame and add coconut oil.

4. When the oil is hot, turn down the heat to medium-low and ladle a spoonful of batter onto the pan, gently tilting in all directions to thin out the mixture evenly.

5. Cook for 4-6 minutes or until the underside has turned golden brown. Flip over and cook for another 2 minutes.

6. Repeat the process with the remaining batter, using more coconut oil as needed.

7. To make the beans mixture, in a mixing bowl, add all the ingredients for the beans mixture and mix well. Taste and adjust the flavours as per your liking.

8. To make the guacamole, scoop the flesh of the avocados into a mixing bowl. Mash the avocados using a fork. Add lime, red onions, fresh coriander leaves, garlic and green chilli. Mix everything well. (Sit a stone in the guacamole if not serving straightaway as this helps to stop it from going brown).

9. To Serve - plate the chickpea wrap at the bottom of the serving tray, followed by spreading the guacamole and then the beans mixture. Finish it off by garnishing with 2-3 fresh sprigs of coriander leaves.
