Introduction

These Sweet Chili Halloumi Wraps are a quick and delicious way to enjoy a flavorful, vegetarian meal. Crispy halloumi pairs perfectly with the tangy sweetness of chili sauce and fresh crunchy vegetables.

The image shows two stacked wraps cut in half to reveal the inside layers. Each wrap has a lightly browned, grilled white tortilla on the outside. Inside, there are thick pieces of crispy golden-brown fried tofu or paneer. Surrounding the tofu are fresh, thinly sliced vegetables including orange carrots, purple cabbage, and pale green lettuce, mixed with creamy light-colored sauce or dressing. The wraps rest on a white marbled surface, and a bowl with a green sauce is blurred in the background. The overall colors are warm with a mix of fresh and cooked textures.

Ingredients

  • 8 slices halloumi cheese
  • ¼ cup sweet chili sauce
  • 1 cup shredded cabbage
  • ½ cup grated carrot
  • 4 large tortillas

Instructions

  1. Step 1: Slice the halloumi cheese and pan-fry it over medium-high heat until golden on both sides, about 2 to 3 minutes per side.
  2. Step 2: Drizzle or brush the sweet chili sauce over the warm halloumi slices.
  3. Step 3: In a bowl, combine the shredded cabbage and grated carrot to make the veggie mix.
  4. Step 4: Warm the tortillas in a dry pan or microwave until soft and pliable.
  5. Step 5: Layer the vegetable mix and halloumi slices in the center of each tortilla, then roll up tightly into wraps.
  6. Step 6: Slice each wrap in half and serve immediately for best flavor and texture.

Tips & Variations

  • Try adding fresh herbs like cilantro or mint for extra brightness.
  • You can substitute tortillas with pita bread or flatbreads for a different twist.
  • For a spicier kick, add a few sliced fresh chilies or a dash of hot sauce.
  • If you don’t have sweet chili sauce, a mix of honey and sriracha works well as a substitute.

Storage

These wraps are best eaten fresh but can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 day. To reheat, warm the halloumi separately in a pan and assemble the wraps fresh to avoid sogginess.

How to Serve

The image shows two wraps stacked on each other, each wrap folded into a tight cylinder with a toasted, golden-brown outer wrap. Inside, there are multiple layers visible: at the bottom, a layer of green leafy lettuce; above it, a mix of thin orange carrot strips and purple cabbage adding color and texture; then several pieces of crispy fried paneer or tofu, golden with spots of dark seasoning, arranged in the center running lengthwise. The wrap’s filling looks fresh and crunchy, with the edges of the wrap slightly folded in to hold everything together. The background is a white marbled texture.

FAQs

Can I use another type of cheese instead of halloumi?

Halloumi works best due to its firm texture that holds up when fried. However, you could try paneer or a firm mozzarella, but the texture and flavor will be different.

How do I prevent the tortillas from tearing when rolling?

Warm the tortillas before assembling to make them more flexible. Also, avoid overfilling and roll gently but firmly to keep the wraps intact.

Cheese

Sauce

Vegetables

  • 1 cup shredded cabbage
  • ½ cup grated carrot

Wraps

Instructions

  1. Pan-fry halloumi: Slice the halloumi cheese into 8 slices. Heat a non-stick pan over medium-high heat and pan-fry the halloumi slices for 2 to 3 minutes on each side, until they are golden brown and crispy.
  2. Add sweet chili sauce: Once the halloumi slices are cooked and still warm, drizzle or brush the sweet chili sauce evenly over them to infuse sweetness and heat.
  3. Prepare vegetable mix: In a mixing bowl, combine the shredded cabbage and grated carrot, tossing gently to blend the flavors and textures.
  4. Warm tortillas: Lightly warm the large tortillas in a dry pan or microwave to make them pliable for wrapping.

  6. Serve: Slice each wrap in half for easy eating and serve immediately while warm and fresh.

Notes

  • Halloumi can be pan-fried until golden brown but avoid overcrowding the pan to cook evenly.
  • Sweet chili sauce can be adjusted to taste; add more for extra sweetness or spice.
  • Use fresh, crisp vegetables for the best texture contrast with the warm cheese.
  • Serve wraps immediately to enjoy the halloumi’s crispy exterior and the tortillas’ softness.
