These vibrant wraps feature pan-fried halloumi and tender chickpeas, tossed in a fragrant blend of spices, all nestled in warm flatbreads with a refreshing herb yogurt sauce. It's a delightful vegetarian meal that's bursting with Middle Eastern-inspired flavors.
Ingredients
Method
1Prepare the herb yogurt sauce: In a small bowl, combine Greek yogurt, chopped mint, chopped cilantro, lemon juice, a pinch of salt, and pepper. Mix well and set aside.
2Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Add the halloumi slices and cook for 2-3 minutes per side, or until golden brown and slightly crispy. Remove from skillet and set aside.
3In the same skillet, add the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Add the drained chickpeas, smoked paprika, cumin, and cayenne pepper (if using). Sauté for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the chickpeas are lightly browned and fragrant.
4Warm the tortillas or flatbreads according to package instructions, either in a dry skillet, microwave, or oven.
5To assemble the wraps, spread a generous amount of the herb yogurt sauce on each warm tortilla.
6Divide the cooked halloumi slices and spiced chickpeas evenly among the tortillas.
7Top with sliced red onion and halved cherry tomatoes.
8Roll up the tortillas tightly and serve immediately.
Notes
- For a vegan option, substitute halloumi with extra-firm tofu (pressed and pan-fried) and use a plant-based yogurt.
- Add some chopped cucumber or shredded lettuce for extra crunch and freshness.
- Feel free to adjust the amount of cayenne pepper to your spice preference.
