Ingredients you'll need
  • 1 red pepper
  • 150g Greek style yogurt
  • A handful of mint, leaves only
  • 1 lemon
  • 4 white tortillas
  • A handful of cos lettuce leaves
  • 2 vine tomatoes

  • 150g halloumi
From your kitchen
  • Sea salt
  • Freshly ground pepper
  • 3 tsp olive oil
Step by step this way
  • 1.

    Heat your grill to high. Line a grill pan with foil – or use a baking tray if your grill doesn't have a pan. Slice the pepper into 8 long pieces and scoop out the seeds and white pith. Lay the pepper pieces, skin-side up, on the foil-lined tray and grill for 10 mins till the skin is blistered and charred.

  • 2.

    While the peppers grill, spoon the yogurt into a bowl. Pick the mint leaves off their sprigs and finely slice the mint leaves. Add them to the yogurt. Finely grate in the zest from the lemon. Add a pinch of salt and pepper and stir to mix. Set aside.

  • 3.

    When the peppers are charred, take them out from under the grill and pop them in a bowl. Cover with a plate and set aside to cool.

  • 4.

    Turn the grill off. Take the tortillas out of their packaging, and loosely wrap them in foil to make a parcel. Pop them under the grill (making sure it's turned off), close the door and leave them to gently warm while you make the rest of the tortilla wrap fillings.

  • 5.

    Separate a few good sized leaves off the lettuce, rinse and dry them, then shred them. Pop them in a large bowl. Dice the tomatoes and add to the lettuce. Trim the roots and any ragged tops off the spring onion, then finely slice it – purple and green parts. Add to the bowl. Squeeze over a little juice from the lemon, drizzle over 1 tsp olive oil and season with a little salt and pepper. Toss to lightly mix. Set aside.

  • 6.

    Peel as much of the charred skin off the pepper wedges as you can (don't worry if you can't get it all off). Slice the halloumi into 8 long pieces.

  • 7.

    Put a frying pan on a medium-high heat and add 2 tsp olive oil. Swirl to coat the pan, then add the halloumi and fry for 2-3 mins on each side till golden brown. Take of the heat.

  • 8.

    Unwrap the tortillas and spread a little of the minty yogurt on each one. Add a small handful of salad, some pepper and halloumi pieces and roll up to make wraps. Serve with the remaining salad and yogurt sauce on the side.
