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.
