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.
