The Art of Perfect Halloumi Wraps

Halloumi Preparation

Begin by properly drying and slicing halloumi to ensure optimal grilling results with golden-brown exterior and creamy interior.

Perfect Grilling

High-heat grilling creates the characteristic golden crust on halloumi while maintaining its signature squeaky texture inside.

Sauce Integration

Brushing warm halloumi with sweet chili sauce allows maximum flavor absorption while creating the perfect sweet-spicy coating.

Fresh Assembly

Strategic layering of fresh vegetables and herbs creates textural contrast and ensures every bite has balanced flavors.

Wrap Mastery

Proper rolling technique with warmed tortillas creates secure wraps that hold together while showcasing all the delicious ingredients.

Expert Tips for Perfect Halloumi Wraps

Halloumi Prep: Pat halloumi completely dry before grilling to achieve the best golden-brown crust and prevent sticking.

High Heat Grilling: Use medium-high heat to get proper browning on halloumi while keeping the interior creamy and soft.

Sauce Application: Brush warm halloumi with sweet chili sauce immediately after grilling for maximum flavor absorption.

Tortilla Warming: Warm tortillas before assembly to make them pliable and prevent cracking during rolling.

Fresh Herbs: Add fresh mint and cilantro just before serving to maintain their bright flavor and vibrant color.

Rolling Technique: Don't overfill wraps - leave space at edges and roll tightly to prevent filling from falling out.
