Cooking instruction summary:

To make the taco filling, place the chickpeas in a large bowl and coarsely mash with a fork (the filling looks prettier if you peel the chickpeas first, but I definitely wouldn't bother with this unless you're desperate for it to look pretty. I picked a few of the skins out when the chickpeas were part-mashed, but didn't bother being too thorough). Add the tomatoes, chopped coriander and smoked paprika, and season to taste. I served this filling at room temperature, but you could microwave it for a minute or so to warm it first if you prefer.For the avocado cream, blitz the avocados, garlic and lemon juice together in a food processor until smooth, then add the yoghurt and olive oil, and blitz again to combine. Season to taste.Serve the taco filling inside the mini tortillas, dolloped with the avocado cream.

Food Trivia

The fig is also a fertility symbol and the Arab association with male genitals is so strong that the original word 'fig' is considered improper.

Food Joke

The Passover test [My thanks to Jeff G for the following] Sean is waiting for a bus when another man joins him at the bus stop. After 20 minutes of waiting, Sean takes out a sandwich from his lunch box and starts to eat. But noticing the other man watching, Sean asks, "Would you like one? My wife has made me plenty." "Thank you very much, but I must decline your kind offer," says the other man, "I’m Rabbi Levy." "Nice to meet you, Rabbi," says Sean, "but my sandwiches are alright for you to eat. They only contain cheese. There’s no meat in them." "It’s very kind of you," says Rabbi Levy, "but today we Jews are celebrating Passover. It would be a great sin to eat a sandwich because during the 8 days of Passover, we cannot eat bread. In fact it would be a sin comparable to the sin of adultery." "OK," says Sean, "but it’s difficult for me to understand the significance of what you’ve just said." Many weeks later, Sean and Rabbi Levy meet again. Sean says, "Do you remember, Rabbi, that when we last met, I offered you a sandwich which you refused because you said eating bread on Passover would be as great a sin as that of adultery?" Rabbi Levy replies, "Yes, I remember saying that." "Well, Rabbi," says Sean, "that day, I went over to my mistress’s apartment and told her what you said. We then tried out both the sins, but I must admit, we just couldn’t see the comparison."
