Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 225 g low fat halloumi, thinly sliced
- 1 tbsp sweet chilli sauce
- 1 cucumber, ⅓ grated, ⅔ thinly sliced
- 200 ml Greek yogurt
- 2 heads of baby gem lettuce
- 4 large white wraps
- 1 carrot, grated/sliced into matchstick pieces
- 1 bunch of coriander
- 1 clove garlic, minced
- ½ lime, juiced
Cupboard Essentials
- 1 tbsp rapeseed oil
- Salt & Pepper
- Red pepper flakes/chilli flakes (optional)
Instructions
- Marinate the Halloumi: Begin by placing the thinly sliced halloumi into a bowl. Coat all pieces evenly with the sweet chilli sauce, adding a pinch of chilli flakes if you prefer some heat. Mix well to ensure every slice is covered and allow it to marinate for at least 15 minutes or up to 24 hours for best flavor absorption.
- Fry the Halloumi: Heat 1 tablespoon of rapeseed oil in a non-stick frying pan over medium heat. Add the marinated halloumi slices and fry each side for approximately 2 minutes until they turn golden brown. Halfway through, add the minced garlic to the pan, allowing it to infuse flavor without burning.
- Prepare the Tzatziki: While the halloumi cooks, combine the Greek yogurt, grated portion of the cucumber, lime juice, and a generous pinch of salt in a bowl. Mix thoroughly to create a fresh, creamy tzatziki sauce.
- Assemble the Wrap: Lay out each wrap and spread a generous dollop of the tzatziki in the center. Place three leaves of baby gem lettuce on top, followed by a good helping of thinly sliced cucumber and grated carrot. Add the crispy sweet chilli halloumi slices next.
- Finish and Serve: Optionally drizzle extra sweet chilli sauce and tzatziki on top of the halloumi, then sprinkle fresh coriander leaves. Fold the wrap securely around the filling and enjoy immediately.
Notes
- Use a non-stick frying pan to prevent the halloumi from sticking or burning while frying.
- Thinly slice the halloumi into about 12 pieces to ensure each bite of the wrap has a balanced amount of cheese and flavor.
- Add extra spice to the dish by including chilli flakes either during the marinating process or while frying the halloumi.
