Equipment

  • 1 Large skillet
  • Mixing bowl
  • Cheese grater

Ingredients
  

  • 250 g halloumi
  • 2 romaine lettuce heads
  • 40 g crutons
  • 50 g parmesan
  • ¼ cup caesar dressing
  • 1 egg
  • 60 g panko breadcrumbs
  • 4 tortilla wraps
  • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • Salt and pepper
  • cup vegetable oil for frying

Instructions
 

  • Slice your halloumi block into thick strips. Set up a breading station with three shallow bowls or plates, one with flour and Italian seasoning, one with beaten egg, and one with panko breadcrumbs mixed with a bit of grated parmesan. Dip each piece of halloumi first in the flour, then the egg, then the panko mix.
Tip: I like to double-coat each strip for extra crunch. Just repeat the egg and breadcrumb step, totally worth it.

  • Wash and chop your romaine lettuce, then toss it in a large bowl with Caesar dressing, most of the grated parmesan, croutons, and a pinch of salt and pepper. Save some parmesan for garnish or for the optional crust.

  • Heat a generous amount of vegetable oil in a non-stick pan over medium-high heat. Once hot, fry the coated halloumi for 2–3 minutes per side until golden brown and crispy. Transfer to a paper towel to drain.

  • Warm your tortilla wraps (you can microwave them for 10–15 seconds or heat them in a dry pan). Layer the salad and crispy halloumi onto each wrap. I like to go salad then halloumi then more salad, so the cheese sits nicely in the center. For the ultimate upgrade, sprinkle a bit of parmesan in a hot non-stick pan and place your wrapped halloumi Caesar wraps seam-side down to toast for 1–2 minutes. The cheese melts into a crispy, golden crust. Game changer!

  • Slice in half and serve immediately while everything is hot and crunchy. These halloumi Caesar wraps are perfect with sweet potato fries, a little extra Caesar dip, or even a squeeze of lemon on top.

Notes

For ultra-crispy halloumi, double coat each slice in egg and panko-parmesan mixture. This extra step ensures a thick, golden crust that holds up against the dressing and salad. Just be sure to add an extra egg to your dredging station so everything sticks without tearing the coating during frying.
