About this recipe
Houmous and grilled vegetable wraps Thermomix TM7 bring a Mediterranean-style vegetarian lunch or quick weeknight dinner to your table with minimal effort. This recipe turns tinned chickpeas, tahini, lemon juice and a clove of garlic into a velvety, creamy houmous, then pairs it with lightly charred courgette and sweet pepper in soft wheat tortillas. Searching for houmous recipes made in an all-in-one kitchen machine usually ends in grainy disappointments, but the TM7's sharp blade blends the chickpeas evenly so the dip turns silky rather than lumpy. The wraps are ideal for busy families, portable lunches or a light summer supper, and they come together faster than ordering takeaway. Each wrap delivers a satisfying contrast of textures: smooth, nutty houmous, tender-crisp vegetables and a warm, soft tortilla. It is the kind of flexible recipe you will return to all year round.
Preparation tips
- Drain the tinned chickpeas well before blending and reserve a splash of the liquid; adding it gradually gives the houmous a lighter, silkier texture without extra olive oil.
- Griddle the courgette and pepper strips in a hot pan until they show clear char marks, then let them cool slightly before rolling so the tortillas stay soft and do not tear.
- Spread the houmous right to the edge of each tortilla before adding the vegetables; this acts as a natural glue that keeps the wraps tightly rolled when sliced for a lunchbox.
Recipe variations
- For a gluten-free version, replace the wheat tortillas with corn or buckwheat wraps and toast them briefly; the houmous and grilled courgette and pepper filling stays exactly the same.
- In autumn, swap the pepper for grilled aubergine and butternut squash slices and add a sprinkle of smoked paprika to the houmous for a warmer, seasonal wrap.

Thermomix TM7 Benefits
- The TM7 weighs the tahini and lemon juice directly in the mixing bowl, so the houmous proportions are accurate without dirtying a separate kitchen scale.
- Garlic cloves are chopped finely in seconds by the Thermomix, giving the houmous an even flavour without any hand-crushing or sticky board work.
- The Thermomix blends the chickpeas, water and olive oil into a silky-smooth houmous, far creamier than mashing by hand could achieve.
- Courgette and pepper keep their bite and colour thanks to gentle steaming in the Varoma, a lighter alternative to frying before grilling briefly.
- Tahini and chickpeas are combined while the bowl contents are warmed gently by the Thermomix, which helps the oils blend into a velvety dip.
