This hearty main is jam-packed with delicious flavours. Sweet potatoes are high in fibre and antioxidants. Unlike regular potatoes, they count towards your 5-a-day and avocados are a good source of monosaturated fats and vitamin E.

Peel the sweet potato; cut into 1cm dice. Put in a microwave-safe bowl with 1 tablespoon of water, cover and cook on high for or until tender (stir halfway); drain and pat dry on kitchen paper. Rinse and drain the chickpeas; partially crush with a masher.
Heat the oil in a frying pan and fry the sweet potato and red onion for over a high heat until starting to colour. Add the chickpeas and stir-fry for another or until heated through.
Meanwhile, roughly mash the avocado with a squeeze of lemon juice; season and stir in most of the coriander. Warm the flatbreads.
Mix the ras el hanout into the chickpea mixture with another squeeze of lemon and a splash of water; season. Spread the smashed avocado onto the flatbreads (opened out), then top with the spicy veg and chickpeas, a drizzle of yogurt and the rest of the coriander.
