Ingredients

  • 14oz mushrooms(cleaned and sliced (cremini or button))
  • 8oz halloumi(sliced into 6–8 mm slabs)
  • 4 pcs pita bread(soft pita pockets or flatbreads, warmed)
  • 2 tbsp olive oil(for sautéing mushrooms and frying halloumi)
  • 1 tsp garlic(minced)
  • 1 pc lemon(juiced, for finishing)

Sauce & garnishes

  • 1 cup tzatziki(store-bought or homemade)
  • 1 pc cucumber(thinly sliced or grated, seeded if large)
  • 2 pcs tomato(medium, sliced)
  • 1 pc red onion(small, thinly sliced)
  • 1 tsp dried oregano(for seasoning)
  • 1 tsp salt(plus extra to taste)
  • 1/2 tsp black pepper(freshly ground)

Instructions

Prepare

  1. Slice mushrooms, halloumi, tomato and red onion; thinly slice or grate the cucumber and juice the lemon.
  2. Warm the pita in a dry skillet over low heat or wrap in foil and heat in a low oven until pliable.
  3. Mix tzatziki with a squeeze of lemon and a pinch of salt if desired, set aside.

Cook

  1. Heat 1 tbsp olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat; add mushrooms, a pinch of salt and the minced garlic.
  2. Sauté mushrooms until browned and any liquid has evaporated, about 6–8 minutes; finish with a sprinkle of dried oregano and black pepper, then remove from pan.
  3. Wipe the skillet, add remaining 1 tbsp olive oil, and fry halloumi slices 2–3 minutes per side until golden and slightly crisp.

Assemble

  1. Spread 2–3 tbsp tzatziki down the center of each warm pita.
  2. Divide mushrooms and halloumi evenly among pitas, top with sliced tomato, cucumber and red onion.
  3. Finish with a squeeze of lemon and an extra sprinkle of oregano, fold or roll the pita and serve immediately.

Tips

  • Slice vegetables evenly so each bite has balanced texture and the wrap folds neatly without tearing.
  • Cook mushrooms until deeply browned to concentrate flavor; avoid steaming by keeping the pan hot.
  • Serve immediately while halloumi is warm and slightly crisp for the best contrast with cool tzatziki.
