Instructions

Prep the Vegetables and Halloumi

1Preheat your grill pan or outdoor grill to medium-high heat. In a large bowl, toss the sliced bell peppers, zucchini, and red onion with 1 tablespoon of olive oil, salt, and pepper.
2In a separate small bowl, whisk together the lemon juice, remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil, dried oregano, chopped fresh parsley, and fresh mint (if using). This will be your lemon-herb vinaigrette.

Cook the Vegetables and Halloumi

1Grill the halloumi slices for 2-3 minutes per side, or until golden brown and slightly charred. Remove from heat and set aside.
2Add the prepared vegetables to the grill. Cook for 5-7 minutes, turning occasionally, until they are tender-crisp and have nice grill marks.
3Once cooked, return the grilled vegetables to the large bowl and gently toss them with the lemon-herb vinaigrette.

Assemble the Wraps

1Warm the flatbreads or tortillas according to package instructions, either on the grill, in a microwave, or in a dry pan, until pliable.
2Spread a generous dollop of tzatziki or hummus onto each warm flatbread.
3Arrange a portion of the grilled halloumi and the vinaigrette-tossed vegetables in the center of each flatbread.
4Fold in the sides of the flatbreads, then roll them up tightly to create your Mediterranean Halloumi & Veggie Wraps. Serve immediately and enjoy the burst of fresh Mediterranean flavours!

Tips

Slice all your vegetables and halloumi to roughly the same thickness to ensure even cooking on the grill.
Don't overcrowd the grill when cooking the halloumi and vegetables; cook in batches if necessary for optimal browning and tenderness.
For an extra layer of flavour, add a sprinkle of crumbled feta cheese or a few Kalamata olives to your wraps before rolling.
