HOW TO MAKE IT

Let's cook.

01

Slice the halloumi cheese into 1/2-inch thick pieces. In a small bowl, combine the halved cherry tomatoes, diced cucumber, thinly sliced red onion, and chopped fresh parsley. Set aside.

02

Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Add the halloumi slices to the hot skillet.

03

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

04

In the same skillet, add the za'atar seasoning and smoked paprika. Toast for 30 seconds over low heat until fragrant, stirring constantly.

05

Warm the tortillas in the microwave for 15-20 seconds, or briefly in a dry skillet over medium-low heat until pliable.

06

To assemble, lay out each warm tortilla. Divide the cooked halloumi slices evenly between the two tortillas.

07

Top the halloumi with the fresh vegetable mixture. Sprinkle the toasted za'atar and paprika mixture over the vegetables.

08

Fold in the sides of each tortilla, then roll them up tightly to form wraps. Serve immediately.

Chef's Tips

For extra flavor, add a squeeze of fresh lemon juice over the vegetables before wrapping. You can also lightly toast the za'atar and paprika in the same pan after cooking the halloumi to infuse more flavor into the wraps.
↔

Easy Substitutions

Feel free to use other quick-cooking vegetables like bell peppers or spinach. If you don't have za'atar, a pinch of dried oregano and sesame seeds can be a decent substitute. Whole wheat tortillas can be used for a healthier option.

Storage & Reheating

These wraps are best enjoyed fresh. If you have leftovers, store the components separately in airtight containers in the refrigerator for up to 1 day. Reheat halloumi gently in a skillet and assemble just before eating.
