Quick and flavorful wraps featuring crispy pan-fried halloumi coated in sweet chili sauce, fresh veggies, and a tangy yogurt drizzle. Perfect for busy weeknights or casual gatherings.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 8 oz (225 g) halloumi cheese, sliced into 1/2-inch thick pieces
  • 1/3 cup (80 ml) sweet chili sauce
  • 4 large (10-inch/25 cm) flour tortillas
  • 1 cup shredded lettuce (iceberg or romaine)
  • 1/2 cup thinly sliced cucumber
  • 1/4 cup grated carrot (optional)
  • Small handful chopped cilantro or parsley
  • 1/4 cup (60 ml) Greek yogurt or plain yogurt
  • 1 tablespoon (15 ml) fresh lime juice
  • 1 tablespoon (15 ml) olive oil
  • Optional extras: chili flakes, sliced avocado, pickled red onions

Instructions

  1. Slice the halloumi into 1/2-inch thick pieces and pat dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture. (5 minutes)
  2. Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and add 1 tablespoon olive oil. Warm until shimmering but not smoking. (2 minutes)
  3. Fry the halloumi slices without crowding the pan for 2-3 minutes on each side until golden brown and crispy. Use tongs to flip gently. Remove and drain on paper towels. (6 minutes)
  4. Brush or spoon about 1/3 cup sweet chili sauce evenly over each warm halloumi slice. (2 minutes)
  5. Toss shredded lettuce, sliced cucumber, grated carrot, and chopped herbs in a mixing bowl. Add a squeeze of lime juice and toss gently. (5 minutes)
  6. In a small bowl, combine Greek yogurt with lime juice and stir well. Season lightly with salt if desired. (2 minutes)
  7. Warm each tortilla in a dry skillet or microwave for 10-15 seconds to make pliable. (2 minutes)
  8. Assemble the wraps by spreading a spoonful of yogurt drizzle on a warm tortilla, adding a generous handful of dressed veggies, then placing 2-3 glazed halloumi slices on top. Add optional extras if desired. (5 minutes)
  9. Fold the bottom edge over the filling, tuck in the sides, and roll tightly. Serve immediately. (2 minutes)

Notes

Avoid overcrowding the pan to get crispy halloumi. Use medium heat to prevent burning. If sweet chili sauce is too thick, loosen with water or lime juice. Store halloumi separately from veggies and yogurt to avoid sogginess. Reheat cheese gently before assembling leftovers.
