Halloumi cheese is one of my favourites and I am sharing this easy recipe/instruction for making a Halloumi in a pita.
The cheese is the protein here, making it a good substitute for the usual meat filling.
I like pan-searing the Halloumi but you may grill or even fry if you wish.
Here, I am cutting the Halloumi into batons so they fit better into the pita wrap. Enjoy!
