Four grilled wraps are stacked on a round white plate on a white marbled surface. Each wrap has a light golden-brown toasted tortilla with darker char marks on top. Inside, there are pieces of grilled paneer that are white with a browned crust, mixed with green leafy vegetables, orange shredded carrots, some purple onion slices, and light-colored cooked onions. The wraps are cut in half, showing these colorful layers in each piece. Some green leafy herbs are scattered around the plate.

Ingredients

250g halloumi cheese
4 tbsp sweet chili sauce
4 soft flour tortillas
1 cup mixed bell peppers (sliced)
1 cup cucumber (sliced)
2 tbsp freshly squeezed lime juice
1 tbsp olive oil

Instructions

Step 1: Slice the halloumi into 1/4-inch thick pieces and chop the bell peppers and cucumber into bite-sized pieces.
Step 2: Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and add the olive oil. When hot, fry the halloumi slices for 2-3 minutes on each side until they turn golden brown and crispy.
Step 3: Lay a tortilla flat and layer it with the crispy halloumi slices, then add the mixed bell peppers and cucumber on top.
Step 4: Drizzle sweet chili sauce over the fillings, then squeeze fresh lime juice on top.
Step 5: Roll up the wrap tightly and serve immediately while the halloumi is warm.

Tips & Variations

For extra freshness, add some fresh mint or coriander leaves inside the wrap.
Swap out the cucumber for shredded lettuce or avocado to change the texture.
Use gluten-free tortillas if you need a gluten-free option.
Try adding a spread of hummus or Greek yogurt inside the wrap for added creaminess.

Storage

These wraps are best enjoyed fresh while the halloumi is warm and crispy. If you need to store leftovers, wrap them tightly in foil or plastic and refrigerate for up to 1 day. Reheat gently in a skillet to maintain the halloumi’s texture before serving.

How to Serve

Three grilled wraps stacked on a white plate with a white marbled texture surface. Each wrap shows a visible cross-section filled with three layers: the first layer is golden-brown grilled paneer cubes with dark char marks; the second layer is fresh green lettuce leaves mixed with some leafy cilantro; the third layer is thin slices of purple onion and small bits of orange carrot. The wraps have a lightly toasted outer shell with dark brown char spots. A small sprig of cilantro lies beside the wraps on the plate. Photo taken with an iphone --ar 4:5 --v 7

FAQs

Can I prepare these wraps in advance?

It’s best to prepare the ingredients ahead of time but assemble the wraps just before eating to keep the halloumi crispy and the vegetables fresh.

What can I use instead of halloumi?

If you prefer a different cheese, firm tofu grilled until golden can be a good vegetarian alternative, though the flavor will be milder than halloumi.

Ingredients

Scale

Cheese

250g halloumi cheese

Sauces and Oils

4 tbsp sweet chili sauce
1 tbsp olive oil
2 tbsp freshly squeezed lime juice

Vegetables

1 cup mixed bell peppers (sliced)
1 cup cucumber (sliced)

Wraps

4 soft flour tortillas

Instructions

Prepare Ingredients: Slice the halloumi cheese into 1/4-inch thick pieces to ensure even cooking. Chop the mixed bell peppers and cucumber into bite-sized pieces to add a fresh crunch to the wrap.
Fry Halloumi: Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and add the olive oil. Once the oil is hot, carefully place the halloumi slices in the pan and fry for 2-3 minutes on each side until they turn golden brown and develop a crispy exterior.
Assemble Wraps: Lay a soft flour tortilla flat on a clean surface. Layer the crispy fried halloumi slices followed by the fresh mixed bell peppers and cucumber on top.
Add Sauce and Lime: Drizzle the sweet chili sauce generously over the fillings. Squeeze the freshly squeezed lime juice over everything to add a zesty brightness that complements the chili sauce.
Roll Up: Roll the tortilla tightly, enclosing all the fillings securely to form a neat wrap. Repeat this process for all tortillas. Serve immediately to enjoy the contrast of hot halloumi and cool vegetables.

Notes

Halloumi is best enjoyed immediately after frying while crispy; reheating may soften the crust.
For a gluten-free version, substitute the flour tortillas with gluten-free wraps or lettuce leaves.
Adjust the amount of sweet chili sauce based on your preferred spice level.
You can add fresh herbs like mint or coriander for additional freshness.
