Ingredients
Scale
- Main Components:
- 16 ounces (about 2 blocks) halloumi cheese, sliced into 1/2-inch thick pieces
- 8 large (10-inch) flour tortillas
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- Fresh Veggies & Herbs:
- 2 cups shredded red cabbage
- 1 cup shredded carrots
- 1 red bell pepper, thinly sliced
- 1/4 cup fresh cilantro, chopped
- Sweet Chili Sauce & Creamy Base:
- 1/2 cup sweet chili sauce (store-bought or homemade)
- 2 tablespoons fresh lime juice
- 1/4 cup mayonnaise
- 1–2 teaspoons Sriracha, optional
- Seasonings & Garnish:
- 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper, freshly ground
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 tablespoon sesame seeds, toasted
- 2 green onions, thinly sliced
Instructions
- Prep Ingredients: Slice halloumi into 1/2-inch thick pieces, then season with kosher salt, black pepper, and garlic powder. Shred cabbage and carrots, and thinly slice the bell pepper. This initial prep makes assembling your Sweet Chili Halloumi Wraps a breeze.
- Mix Sauce: In a small bowl, whisk together the sweet chili sauce, fresh lime juice, mayonnaise, and optional Sriracha until smooth. This creamy, vibrant sauce is key to the flavor of your Sweet Chili Halloumi Wraps (20-Minute Vegetarian Wraps).
- Pan-Fry Halloumi: Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add seasoned halloumi slices and cook for 2-3 minutes per side until golden brown and crispy. Cook in batches if necessary to avoid overcrowding the pan.
- Warm Tortillas: While the halloumi cooks, warm your flour tortillas. You can do this in a dry skillet for 15-20 seconds per side, or briefly in the microwave. This makes them pliable and easier to fold for your wraps.
- Assemble Wraps: Spread a generous amount of the sweet chili sauce mixture onto each warm tortilla. Layer with shredded red cabbage, carrots, thinly sliced red bell pepper, and the crispy pan-fried halloumi pieces. Don’t overfill!
- Garnish & Serve: Top each wrap with fresh cilantro, sliced green onions, and toasted sesame seeds. Fold or roll up your delicious Sweet Chili Halloumi Wraps (20-Minute Vegetarian Wraps) and serve immediately for the best taste and texture.
Notes
To ensure crispy halloumi, cook slices in batches and avoid overcrowding the pan.
Disassemble leftover wraps and store halloumi and veggies separately in airtight containers in the fridge for 3-4 days.
Swap flour tortillas for your favorite gluten-free tortillas to make these wraps suitable for a gluten-free diet.
Serve Sweet Chili Halloumi Wraps immediately while warm, cut in half, for the best crispy halloumi and fresh texture.
Prep the sweet chili sauce and chop all vegetables up to two days ahead for quick assembly just before serving.
