Halloumi Wraps with Hot Honey

by Susan Hanna

This wrap from Evergreen Kitchen is fresh and delicious. Make the cilantro yogurt sauce and set aside. Prepare your wrap topping and then sear the halloumi on both sides. Toss the halloumi with honey and hot sauce. Spread some sauce on a wrap, add the veggies and halloumi, drizzle with more sauce and wrap tightly to serve.

Serves 4.

I used President’s Choice organic flour wraps, organic yogurt and halloumi cheese. I also used pure honey, freshly squeezed lime juice and Nature Value sriracha. For more recipes using all-natural ingredients, visit Eye For a Recipe.

Ingredients:

Cilantro yogurt sauce

• ¾ cup (187.5 ml) plain Greek yogurt
• ¼ avocado (use the rest of the avocado for topping)
• ½ cup (125 ml) fresh cilantro
• 1 small clove garlic
• ½ to 1 jalapeno pepper, cored and chopped
• ½ teaspoon (2.5 ml) fine sea salt

Halloumi with hot honey

• 1 tablespoon (15 ml) extra-virgin olive oil
• 8.8 oz (250 g) sliced Halloumi cheese (¼-inch/0.5cm thick)
• 2 tablespoons (30 ml) honey
• 1 teaspoon (5 ml) Mexican-style hot sauce or sriracha
• 1 tablespoon (15 ml) fresh lime juice

Other

• 4 (10- to 12-inch/25- to 30-cm) flour wraps
• Vegetable toppings (sliced avocado, cucumber, tomatoes, lettuce, etc.)

Preparation:

1. To a food processor (or blender), add yogurt, avocado, cilantro, garlic, jalapeno pepper and fine sea salt. Blend until smooth. Set aside.
2. In a large nonstick skillet, warm extra-virgin olive oil over medium heat. Arrange sliced Halloumi cheese in a single layer, then cook until both sides are golden-brown, about 2 minutes per side.
3. Meanwhile, in a small bowl, combine honey and hot sauce. Reduce heat to low, then drizzle hot honey over the halloumi. Toss to coat, then cook for 1 to 2 minutes until honey is bubbling. Stir in fresh lime juice and toss to coat both sides of halloumi. Then, remove skillet from heat.
4. Spread some cilantro yogurt sauce on 4 flour wraps. Slice the remaining avocado (left over from making the sauce). Scatter sliced avocado and your desired vegetable toppings (such as lettuce, tomato, cucumber). Top with the seared halloumi. Drizzle with more sauce, then roll each wrap tightly.
