Ingredients
Scale
For the Halloumi and Sauce
- 1 tsp Sunflower oil
- 400 g Halloumi (2 packs)
- 2 tbsp Honey
- 2 tbsp Sweet chilli sauce
- 2 tbsp Ketchup
For the Wraps
- 2 Little gem lettuces, finely shredded
- 1/2 Red onion, thinly sliced
- 250 g Cherry tomatoes, halved
- 1/2 Cucumber, thinly sliced
- 120 g Hummus
- 1 Lime
- 8 Small tortilla wraps
Instructions
- Prepare the Sticky Sauce: In a small bowl, mix together the honey, sweet chilli sauce, and ketchup until well combined to form the sticky sauce.
- Slice the Halloumi: Cut each of the two blocks of halloumi into 8 slices, ensuring even thickness for consistent cooking.
- Fry the Halloumi: Heat the sunflower oil in a pan over high heat. Once hot, add the halloumi slices and fry for 3-5 minutes on each side without moving them too much to allow a golden brown crust to form.
- Coat Halloumi with Sauce: Add the sticky sauce to the pan with the halloumi. Turn the slices gently to coat them fully in the sauce and cook for another 2-3 minutes until the sauce is warmed through and slightly thickened.
- Warm the Wraps: While the halloumi is cooking, warm the tortilla wraps if desired by microwaving, heating wrapped in foil in a low oven, or toasting carefully over an open flame to add color and texture.
- Assemble the Wraps: Spread each wrap with hummus, then layer with shredded lettuce, halved cherry tomatoes, thinly sliced red onion, and cucumber slices. Top with the sticky-coated halloumi pieces.
- Finish and Serve: Squeeze fresh lime juice over each assembled wrap to add brightness, then fold or roll the wraps tightly and serve immediately.
Notes
- The sweet and sticky sauce adds a flavorful glaze that complements the salty halloumi perfectly.
- Customize your wraps by adding other fresh vegetables or herbs to suit your taste.
- Heating the wraps adds a soft texture and enhances the overall eating experience, but they can be served cold as well.
- This recipe makes 4 hearty wraps, ideal for a family meal or meal prep.
- The dish comes together quickly, taking around 15 minutes, making it perfect for busy days.
