Mix the sliced fennel and courgette(s) in a serving bowl with half the lime juice. Set aside.
For the pea guacamole, put the peas in a bowl, cover with boiling water and leave for 5 minutes. Drain and rinse under cold water, then whizz in a food processor with the avocado and remaining lime juice until smooth. Taste and season well with salt and pepper.
Toss the lettuce and chopped coriander with the fennel and courgette. Arrange the chicken and green veg on the tortillas, dollop with some pea guacamole, then serve with the tomato salsa and lime wedges for squeezing.
