Method
- 1
Heat the oil in a wide frying pan over a medium high heat. Cook the onion for 5 minutes until it starts to brown.
5 min - 2
Add the garlic, chilli and courgette and fry for 5 minutes until the courgette has golden edges but still has some bite.
5 min - 3
Add the sweetcorn and salt and let it sit for 2 minutes without stirring so it catches and chars a little.
2 min - 4
Fold in the courgette flowers and cook for 1 to 2 minutes, just until they wilt. Take off the heat.
1 min 30 s - 5
Warm the tortillas one at a time in a dry pan for 30 seconds each side, then wrap them in a clean tea towel to keep them soft.
- 6
Fill each tortilla with the vegetables, top with avocado and coriander, and serve with lime wedges.
