Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 8 oz halloumi cheese Rich and slightly salty, halloumi brings unique texture.
- 2-4 pieces tortilla wraps Soft and pliable for the filling.
- 1 piece red bell pepper Adds color and crunch.
- 1 piece cucumber Refreshing and crisp.
- ½ piece red onion Offers a subtle sharpness.
- 1-2 leaves lettuce Provides a base of greenery.

- 1 tablespoon olive oil Adds richness and crispiness.
Optional Toppings
- creamy avocado For extra creaminess.
- fresh herbs (cilantro or parsley) Adds freshness.
- pickled vegetables For added flavor.
Instructions
Preparation
- Slice the halloumi into ½-inch thick pieces and heat a skillet over medium heat. Drizzle in the olive oil.
- Once hot, add the halloumi slices and fry for about 2–3 minutes on each side until golden brown and crispy. Remove and set aside.
- Thinly slice the red bell pepper and red onion. Julienne the cucumber and tear the lettuce leaves into large pieces.
Assembly
- Lay out tortilla wraps. Spread a layer of sweet chili sauce on each.
- Layer crispy halloumi, bell pepper slices, cucumber, and lettuce on top.
- Fold the bottom edge of the wrap over the filling, then fold in the sides to secure the ingredients.
Toasting (Optional)
- Toast the wrapped tortillas in the skillet or oven for a few minutes for a crisp exterior.
Serving
- Serve immediately, drizzling with additional sweet chili sauce if desired.
Notes
Avoid overcooking halloumi; if it becomes rubbery, it won’t be enjoyable. Also, ensure tortillas aren’t exposed to air too long to prevent drying out.
