Ingredients
For the Halloumi:
- 1 tsp Sunflower oil
- 400 g (14 oz) Halloumi (2 packs)
For the Sticky Sauce:
- 2 tbsp Honey
- 2 tbsp Sweet chilli sauce
- 2 tbsp Ketchup
To Serve:
- 2 Little gem lettuces, finely shredded
- ½ Red onion, thinly sliced
- 250 g (9 oz) Cherry tomatoes, halved
- ½ Cucumber, thinly sliced
- 120 g (4 oz) Hummus
- 1 Lime
- 8 Small tortilla wraps
Instructions
- Prepare the sticky sauce: In a small bowl, mix together 2 tablespoons honey, 2 tablespoons sweet chilli sauce, and 2 tablespoons ketchup until fully combined.
- Slice the halloumi: Cut each of the two blocks of halloumi into 8 slices, making a total of 16 slices.
- Fry the halloumi: Heat 1 teaspoon of sunflower oil in a pan over high heat. Once hot, add the halloumi slices and fry for 3-5 minutes on each side, avoiding moving them too much to allow a good browning.
- Coat the halloumi with sauce: Add the prepared sticky sauce into the pan with the halloumi. Turn the slices so they are fully coated and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until the sauce is warmed through and sticky.
- Warm the wraps (optional): If you prefer warm wraps, heat them in a microwave, low oven wrapped in foil, or toast carefully over a gas flame to add color and texture.
- Assemble the wraps: Spread each tortilla wrap with hummus, then add shredded lettuce, halved cherry tomatoes, thinly sliced red onion, and sliced cucumber. Top with pieces of the sticky halloumi.
- Finish with a squeeze of lime: Squeeze fresh lime juice over each assembled wrap just before serving for a bright, fresh flavor.
Notes
- Use high heat when frying halloumi to achieve a nice golden crust.
- Don’t move the halloumi too much while frying to encourage good browning and prevent sticking.
- Warm the wraps gently to avoid drying out or tearing.
- Adjust the amount of sticky sauce to your preference for sweetness and heat.
- This dish is great for quick meal prep and can be customized with other fresh vegetables or herbs.
