4 courgettes diced
Vegetable or olive oil
1 - 2 tsp hot smoked paprika or chipotle chilli flakes
1 tsp ground cumin
3 cloves of garlic peeled and finely sliced
80 - 100 g tortilla chips broken up
2 avocados flesh cut into bite-size pieces
100 g feta cheese crumbled
Small bunch of coriander roughly chopped
1 - 2 green chillies finely sliced (optional; remove the seeds to reduce heat, if you like)
1 lime cut into wedges, to serve
Salt and freshly ground black pepper

Preheat the oven to 220°C/fan 200°C/425°F/Gas 7 and line two baking sheets with baking paper.
Put the courgette in a bowl with a good measure of oil, half the paprika or chipotle and half the cumin. Season with salt and pepper, and mix until well coated. Spread evenly in a single layer on one of the prepared baking sheets and roast for about 10 minutes. Distribute the garlic in among the courgette and continue cooking for a further five minutes, until the courgettes are golden in places and tender throughout.
Mix a good measure of oil in a small bowl with the remaining spices. Spread the broken tortillas on the second baking sheet, pour over the spiced oil and turn through to coat evenly. Bake in the oven for about five to eight minutes, until toasted. Remove from the oven.
Scatter half the toasted tortillas over a large serving dish. Top with the cooked courgette and the avocado, then distribute the feta, coriander, remaining tortillas, and the sliced chilli (if using). Serve with the wedges of lime to squeeze at the table.
