Sweet Chili Halloumi Wraps Recipe

Introduction

Sweet Chili Halloumi Wraps offer a deliciously satisfying combination of crispy, salty cheese with fresh, crunchy vegetables and a zesty kick of sweetness. Perfect for a quick lunch or light dinner, these wraps are easy to prepare and bursting with flavor.

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

1. Step 1: Slice the halloumi into 1/4-inch thick pieces. Chop the bell peppers and cucumber into bite-sized slices.
2. Step 2: Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and add the olive oil. Once hot, fry the halloumi slices for 2-3 minutes on each side until they develop a golden brown crust.
3. Step 3: Lay a flour tortilla flat on a clean surface. Arrange the crispy halloumi slices on top, followed by the sliced bell peppers and cucumber.
4. Step 4: Drizzle each wrap with sweet chili sauce, then squeeze over the fresh lime juice for a bright, tangy finish.
5. Step 5: Roll the tortilla tightly around the fillings to enclose everything, then serve immediately while the halloumi is warm.

Tips & Variations

• For extra freshness, add a handful of fresh herbs like coriander or mint inside the wrap before rolling.
• Try swapping the bell peppers with shredded lettuce or cabbage for a different crunch.
• If you prefer a spicier kick, add a few slices of fresh chili or a dash of hot sauce.
• To make it vegan, replace halloumi with a firm tofu and use a vegan sweet chili sauce.

Storage

These wraps are best enjoyed fresh, but you can store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 day. To reheat, warm the halloumi separately in a pan, then reassemble the wrap with fresh vegetables to keep them crisp.

How to Serve

Serve this delicious recipe with your favorite sides.

FAQs

Can I prepare these wraps ahead of time?

It’s best to keep the components separate when preparing ahead. Store the cooked halloumi and vegetables separately and assemble the wraps just before eating to maintain texture and flavor.

What can I use instead of halloumi?

If halloumi is unavailable, firm tofu works well as an alternative. Press and dry it first to reduce moisture, then pan-fry until golden for a similar texture.

Instructions

1. Prepare Ingredients: Slice the halloumi cheese into 1/4-inch thick pieces and chop the mixed bell peppers and cucumber into bite-sized slices.
2. Heat Skillet: Place a non-stick skillet over medium heat and add the olive oil, allowing it to heat until shimmering but not smoking.
3. Fry Halloumi: Add the halloumi slices to the hot skillet and fry for 2-3 minutes on each side until golden brown and crispy on the outside.
4. Assemble Wraps: Lay each flour tortilla flat on a clean surface. Layer the fried halloumi slices evenly over each wrap, followed by the sliced bell peppers and cucumber.
5. Add Sauce and Lime: Drizzle 1 tablespoon of sweet chili sauce over each wrap and squeeze fresh lime juice evenly atop the fillings for a burst of freshness.
6. Roll Wraps: Roll each tortilla tightly to encase all fillings securely, creating a neat wrap ready to serve.

Notes

• Use a non-stick skillet to prevent halloumi from sticking and ensure even browning.
• Adjust the amount of sweet chili sauce according to your preferred sweetness and spice level.
• For a gluten-free option, substitute flour tortillas with gluten-free wraps.
• Serve immediately for the best texture—halloumi is crispest when freshly fried.
• Add fresh herbs like cilantro or mint for extra flavor if desired.
