For the guacamole:

Other ingredients:

Seasoning:

Add the lime juice and the avocado to a bowl, then mash thoroughly. Stir in the coriander, cover and refrigerate until needed.
Warm the oil in a large non-stick frying pan over a medium heat. Add the onion and pepper; and cook for 3–4 minutes until they start to soften but not brown.
Add the chicken to the pan and cook for a further 4–5 minutes until the chicken is browned on all sides.
Mix together all the seasoning ingredients, and sprinkle over the chicken and vegetables – you may not need to use all of the seasoning, but the rest will keep for another time. Stir for 2 minutes to cook the spices and ensure everything is coated in them.
Warm the wraps in the oven (about 100ºC) for about 2–3 minutes (optional). Place each wrap on a large plate, and spoon a quarter of the chicken and vegetable mix onto each, followed by a quarter of the guacamole and half a tablespoon of yoghurt. Fold the wrap and enjoy.
