Ingredients
Halloumi & Marinade
- 225 g low fat halloumi, thinly sliced
- 1 tbsp sweet chilli sauce
- Red pepper flakes/chilli flakes, to taste
Vegetables & Wrap
- 1 cucumber, ⅓ grated, ⅔ thinly sliced
- 1 carrot, grated or sliced into matchstick pieces
- 2 heads of baby gem lettuce
- 4 large white wraps
- 1 bunch of coriander, for garnish
Tzatziki Sauce
- 200 ml Greek yogurt
- ½ lime, juiced
- Salt, a generous pinch
For Frying
- 1 tbsp rapeseed oil
- 1 clove garlic, minced
Instructions
- Marinate Halloumi: Place the thinly sliced halloumi in a bowl and coat it thoroughly with sweet chilli sauce and a pinch of red pepper flakes if you prefer some heat. Let it marinate for at least 15 minutes, or up to 24 hours if time allows, to enhance the flavors.
- Fry Halloumi: Heat rapeseed oil in a non-stick frying pan over medium heat. Add the marinated halloumi slices and fry each side for about 2 minutes until golden brown. Halfway through cooking, add the minced garlic to the pan to infuse flavor without burning it.
- Prepare Tzatziki: In a bowl, combine the Greek yogurt, grated cucumber, lime juice, and a generous pinch of salt. Stir well to create a creamy, tangy tzatziki sauce that will balance the spiciness of the chilli halloumi.
- Assemble Wraps: Spread a large dollop of tzatziki over the center of each wrap. Layer 3 leaves of baby gem lettuce, followed by a generous amount of sliced cucumber and carrot matchsticks. Top with the freshly fried sweet chilli halloumi slices.
- Finish & Serve: Optionally drizzle extra sweet chilli sauce and more tzatziki on top, then garnish with fresh coriander. Fold the wraps tightly and serve immediately for a delicious, satisfying meal.
Notes
- Marinating the halloumi longer enhances the flavor and tenderness.
- If you prefer a milder wrap, omit the red pepper flakes.
- Use low-fat halloumi to reduce calories without sacrificing flavor.
- Wrap ingredients can be adjusted with additional veggies like bell peppers or avocado.
- To keep the wraps warm, wrap them in foil before serving.
