FAQs
Can I use a different cheese instead of halloumi?
Halloumi is unique for its firm texture and ability to hold shape when fried. If unavailable, try paneer or a firm mozzarella, but the texture and flavor will differ slightly.
How spicy is the sweet chili sauce?
Sweet chili sauce has a mild heat balanced with sweetness, making these wraps approachable for most palates. Adjust the amount or use a milder sauce if preferred.

Ingredients
Cheese
- 8 slices halloumi cheese
Sauce
- ¼ cup sweet chili sauce
Vegetables
- 1 cup shredded cabbage
- ½ cup grated carrot
Wrap
- 4 large tortillas
Instructions
- Pan-fry the Halloumi: Slice the halloumi cheese into 8 even slices. Heat a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat and pan-fry the halloumi slices for 2 to 3 minutes on each side, or until they turn golden brown and develop a crispy exterior.
- Add Sweet Chili Sauce: Once the halloumi slices are warm and golden, drizzle or brush sweet chili sauce generously over them while still hot to allow the sauce to absorb slightly.
- Prepare the Veggie Mix: In a mixing bowl, combine the shredded cabbage and grated carrot thoroughly to create a fresh and crunchy vegetable filling.
- Warm the Tortillas: Briefly warm the large tortillas in a dry skillet or microwave until soft and pliable, making them easier to roll without tearing.
- Assemble the Wraps: Lay each warm tortilla flat, then evenly layer the cabbage and carrot mixture in the center followed by the sweet chili coated halloumi slices.
- Roll and Serve: Carefully roll the tortillas into wraps, slice each in half diagonally for easy eating, and serve immediately while warm and fresh.
Notes
- Halloumi is best served warm as it tends to firm up when cooled.
- For extra flavor, add fresh herbs like cilantro or mint to the veggie mix.
- These wraps can be made gluten-free by using gluten-free tortillas.
- Sweet chili sauce can be adjusted for spiciness or replaced with your favorite chili sauce.
- Ensure tortillas are warmed properly to prevent cracking when rolling.
