    These avocado and halloumi wraps are an incredibly tasty vegetarian lunch option - everything works so beautifully together!

    I've lamented before about how uninspiring I sometimes find lunch - vegetarian choices in the shops can sometimes be a bit lacking (though definitely improving!). So lately I've been on a bit of a mission to share some more exciting vegetarian lunch options - coronation tofu sandwiches, creamy chickpea salad, and now, avocado and halloumi wraps!

    Unbelievably tasty veggie lunch!

    A halloumi wrap might not sound like the most groundbreaking recipe I've ever shared, and I'll admit it's not - but as I've said many times before, sometimes simple meals end up being the most enjoyable. And the flavours in this avocado and halloumi wrap are definitely enjoyable!

    The recipe starts with a smear of hummus and some grated carrot. I used a roasted red pepper flavoured hummus, but you can use whatever you have on hand - whatever's your favourite.

    Next up, some squidgy fried halloumi! If you're not familiar with halloumi, it's a cheese from Cyprus that can be fried or grilled while still holding its shape.

    It's beautifully salty, and as it cooks it becomes squidgy in the middle, and nice and crispy on the outside. So good it makes me want to weep.

    How to cook halloumi

    You don't need any oil to cook halloumi - just slice it up, pop it in a frying pan or griddle, and let it cook until it's golden brown on both sides. I've actually written a whole blog post before about how to cook halloumi, if you'd like more detailed instructions!

    Add it to the wrap along with some slices of buttery avocado.

    And finally, the pièce de résistance - some chopped sun-dried tomatoes, which really take this avocado and halloumi wrap to the next level!

    How could I adapt these halloumi wraps?

    Every ingredient in these avocado and halloumi wraps works so beautifully together - the creamy hummus, gooey halloumi, little pops of flavour from the tomatoes... I wouldn't change a thing.

    But, you totally can if you want to! Wraps like this can pretty much be stuffed with whatever you fancy. Here are a few ideas:

    • use a homemade bean dip or pâté instead of the hummus - or try different flavours of hummus to add a different feel to your wrap
    • swap the sun-dried tomatoes for black olives, capers, or anything similar to add a little pop of flavour
    • halloumi is best eaten warm (otherwise it can get a bit squeaky!), so if you want to take this wrap in your lunchbox, try a few thin slices of feta cheese instead
    • brush the halloumi with harissa or sun-dried tomato paste as it cooks to add even more flavour

    I served my avocado and halloumi wraps with some homemade sweet potato fries (avocado and sweet potato are a surprisingly amazing combination!), but you could have crisps (potato chips) on the side instead if you prefer, for a more lunchy vibe.

      I share your love of all things Halloumi. You are one of the few food bloggers who posts recipes with it so whenever I see your mail in my inbox I always whisper to myself "I hope it's another Halloumi recipe" and today it was! Yay! Making these asap! Btw, your Halloumi tacos with mango salsa has become a weekly staple in our dinner rotation.So freakin good! 5 stars

      Looks delicious. But have you any tips on how to fold a wrap so it doesn't immediately fall apart?5 stars

        Thanks Annabel :) Fold both ends in and then roll tightly! And be careful not to overfill.

          I do that - but usually they still fall apart.... unless I have so little filling I can barely taste it. I probably do it too fast.... and I am not neat-fingered.

            I'm with you, Annabel... which is why you won't see me posting many pics of my food creations... I like your "not neat-fingered" description... I'm definitely the same... but with a knife and fork, it works ok... haha, but it would be nice, just once, to produce a dish that looked half as amazing as Beccas' do... :-)5 stars

              Aw you're too kind! It's just very tight rolling and a couple of well placed cocktail sticks to hold it together!
