Halloumi shines in this recipe, achieving a perfect balance of golden exterior and springy centre, while the air fryer ensures a crisp tortilla without excess oil. This method enhances the halloumi's natural fat for browning, making it an ideal choice for a quick and satisfying meal.

Ingredients

• 250g halloumi, drained and patted very dry, cut into 8 thick batons
• 4 large soft flour tortillas, about 25cm across
• 120g baby spinach, roughly chopped
• 2 spring onions, finely sliced
• 1 small garlic clove, finely grated
• 1 tbsp olive oil, plus 1 tsp for brushing or spraying the wraps
• 1 tsp smoked paprika
• ½ tsp ground cumin
• ½ tsp dried oregano
• Finely grated zest of ½ lemon
• 1 tbsp lemon juice
• 60g thick Greek yoghurt
• 1 tsp runny honey, optional
• 1 tbsp chopped fresh mint or parsley
• Freshly ground black pepper
• 1 tbsp plain flour mixed with 1 tbsp water, to make a sealing paste
• Optional: 1 roasted red pepper from a jar, drained and patted dry, sliced

Method

1. Preheat the air fryer to 190°C for 3 minutes.
2. Pat the halloumi batons thoroughly with kitchen paper.
3. Toss the halloumi with 1 tbsp olive oil, smoked paprika, cumin, oregano and black pepper.
4. Air fry the halloumi batons in a single layer at 190°C for 4–5 minutes, turning once, until lightly golden.
5. Remove halloumi to a plate.
6. Put the spinach in a heatproof bowl and pour over boiling water. Leave for 30 seconds, drain, then squeeze dry.
7. Mix the spinach with spring onions, garlic, lemon zest, lemon juice, Greek yoghurt, honey if using, and mint or parsley.
8. Warm the tortillas for 10–15 seconds in the microwave or briefly in the air fryer.
9. Lay one tortilla on a board. Spread a quarter of the spinach mixture below the centre, leaving a 3cm border at the sides.
10. Add two halloumi batons and a few strips of roasted red pepper if using.
11. Fold the left and right sides in, then roll up tightly from the bottom into a compact parcel.
12. Brush a little flour paste along the final edge and press to seal.
13. Repeat with the remaining wraps.
14. Brush or spray the outside of the wraps lightly with 1 tsp oil.
15. Place the wraps seam-side down in the basket, leaving space between them.
16. Air fry at 190°C for 7–9 minutes, turning after 5 minutes, until deeply golden and crisp at the edges.
17. Rest for 2 minutes before cutting in half.
