Ingredients

Yield: 4 servings

Main

  • 1 (8 oz) block halloumi cheese, sliced into 1/4-inch thick pieces
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 4-6 large flour tortillas or wholesome wraps
  • 1 cup shredded lettuce or mixed greens
  • 1/2 cucumber, thinly sliced
  • 1/2 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
  • 1/4 red onion, thinly sliced
  • Optional: 1/4 cup chopped fresh mint or dill

Creamy Dressing

  • 1/2 cup plain Greek yogurt
  • 1 tbsp lemon juice
  • 1 clove garlic, minced
  • 1/2 tsp dried oregano
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste

Preparation

  1. Step 1

    Prepare the dressing: In a small bowl, whisk together Greek yogurt, lemon juice, minced garlic, oregano, salt, and pepper. Set aside.

  2. Step 2

    Heat olive oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium heat. Add halloumi slices in a single layer (cook in batches if necessary).

  3. Step 3

    Cook halloumi for 3-4 minutes per side, or until golden brown and crispy. Remove from skillet and set aside.

  4. Step 4

    Warm tortillas briefly in the microwave or a dry skillet to make them more pliable.

  5. Step 5

    Assemble the wraps: Spread a spoonful of creamy dressing over each tortilla. Layer with shredded lettuce, cucumber, cherry tomatoes, and red onion.

  6. Step 6

    Top with crispy halloumi slices and a sprinkle of fresh mint or dill (if using). Fold in the sides of the tortilla, then roll up tightly to form a wrap.

  7. Step 7

    Serve immediately and enjoy!

Tips

  • Don't overcrowd the pan when cooking the halloumi; this ensures it gets crispy and not steamed.
  • Feel free to add other fresh veggies like bell peppers, shredded carrots, or Kalamata olives to your wraps.
