Total Time 15 minutes
Servings 1 servings

Ingredients
  

  • 1 large tortilla or flatbread (white or whole wheat)
  • 100–125 g halloumi, sliced into 1 cm strips
  • 1–2 tablespoons sweet chilli sauce
  • 1 tablespoon plain Greek yogurt or mayonnaise (optional but recommended)
  • 1 small handful mixed salad leaves (or shredded lettuce)
  • 4–5 slices cucumber, thinly sliced
  • 2–3 slices tomato or a few cherry tomatoes, halved
  • Red onion, a few very thin slices (optional)
  • Fresh herbs like mint or parsley, roughly chopped (optional)
  • 1 teaspoon olive oil (or a light spray of oil) for frying
  • Pinch of black pepper
  • Lemon wedge (optional, for a quick squeeze)

Instructions
 

  • Prep the veg. Wash and slice your cucumber and tomato. If using red onion or herbs, slice them thinly. Keep them ready so the wrap comes together fast.
  • Slice the halloumi. Cut it into even strips so it cooks uniformly. Pat it dry with a paper towel to reduce splatter and help it brown.
  • Warm your pan. Set a non-stick pan over medium heat and add a little olive oil. You want the pan hot enough to sizzle but not smoke.
  • Cook the halloumi. Lay the slices in the pan and cook for 1–2 minutes per side, until golden with crisp edges. Don’t move them too much—let them sear. Remove to a plate.
  • Warm the tortilla. Wipe the pan and warm the tortilla for 15–20 seconds per side. This makes it pliable and less likely to tear when rolling.
  • Spread the base. Place the warm tortilla on a board. Spread yogurt or mayo down the center, leaving space at the edges for folding.
  • Layer the fillings. Add salad leaves, cucumber, tomato, and a touch of red onion if using. Place the hot halloumi on top. Grind over a little black pepper.
  • Add the sauce. Drizzle sweet chilli sauce across the halloumi. If you like extra zing, add a small squeeze of lemon. Scatter herbs for freshness.
  • Wrap it up. Fold the sides in, then roll from the bottom up, keeping it snug. If you want, toast the rolled wrap seam-side down in the pan for 30–60 seconds to seal and add crunch.
  • Serve. Slice in half if you like. Eat right away while the halloumi is warm and the wrap is soft.
