Herby Courgette & Smoked Hummus Wraps
For this super-speedy twenty minute meal, we’ve chosen one of our favourite quick vegetables, the versatile courgette. With added flavour from zingy lemon and chilli, mint for a brightening, fresh lift and smoked hummus for protein and yumminess! It may not be Michelin starred, but it’ll definitely make lunchtime special, even if you’re in a hurry.
Ingredients
- 2 courgettes
- 1 chilli - add to taste
- 1 lemon
- 4 tortillas or flat breads
- 100g mixed salad leaves
- balsamic vinegar - add to taste
- 180g pot of smoked hummus

Method
-
Step 1
Set your oven to 180˚C/Gas 4.
-
Step 2
Slice the courgettes into approx. 1cm discs. Toss them in a bowl with a little oil to coat and some salt and pepper to season.
-
Step 3
Heat a large frying pan. Cooking in batches if needs be, fry the courgettes on a medium heat, until lightly browning on both sides and starting to soften. If cooking in batches, transfer them to a baking tray and keep them in the oven while you fry the next batch.
-
Step 4
If you like heat, finely chop a little chilli too. Leave the seeds in for an extra kick.
-
Step 5
When the courgettes are all done, sprinkle over some chilli to your taste, add a squeeze of lemon and check the seasoning.
-
Step 6
Wrap the tortillas in foil and pop them in the oven for 5 minutes to warm through.
-
Step 7
Toss the salad leaves in a bowl (you can use the same one the courgettes went in, no need to wash it out) in some olive oil and a little balsamic vinegar to your taste.
-
Step 8
Fill the warm tortillas with some salad leaves, smoked hummus, courgettes and finish with some freshly shredded mint leaves.
-
Step 9
Serve with any remaining salad leaves on the side.
