Step-by-step instructions
- In a bowl, whisk together Greek yogurt, chopped mint, lemon juice, and a pinch of salt. Set this mint yogurt sauce aside.
- Heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Toss the halloumi slices in smoked paprika, salt, and pepper, then fry them for 2–3 minutes on each side until they turn golden and crispy.
- Warm the tortillas in a dry skillet or a microwave for a few seconds until pliable.
- Assemble your wraps by layering shredded lettuce, cucumber, shredded carrots, and crispy halloumi on each tortilla. Top with a drizzle of the mint yogurt and a sprinkle of pomegranate seeds. Fold the tortillas into wraps and serve immediately to enjoy the freshness!
Best ways to enjoy it
These wraps are irresistibly tasty on their own, but consider serving them alongside a light salad or grilled vegetables to create a more substantial meal. A glass of chilled mint lemonade or a refreshing cucumber-mint infused water can enhance the overall experience.
Storage and reheating tips
To maximize freshness, store any leftover wraps in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to two days. If you decided to prepare the mint yogurt sauce separately, you can keep it in the fridge for up to a week. When ready to enjoy leftovers, reheat the halloumi in a skillet over low heat to retain its crispy goodness. Just be cautious not to overheat, as this can make it rubbery.
Helpful cooking tips
- For the crispiest halloumi, ensure your skillet is hot before placing the cheese. This helps create a lovely, seared outside while the inside remains soft.
- If you prefer a hint of spice, consider adding sliced jalapeños or a pinch of chili flakes to your mint yogurt sauce for an extra kick.
- For meal prep, consider packing all ingredients separately and assembling just before serving, ensuring everything stays fresh.
Creative twists
- Try adding different herbs to your yogurt sauce, such as basil or cilantro, for unique flavor profiles.
- Swap pomegranate seeds for sliced avocados for a creamier texture and additional healthy fats.
- Experiment with different cheeses or add grilled chicken for a heartier option that’s still just as delicious.
