This chickpea, sweet potato and halloumi wrap is so unbelievably delicious and light. The halloumi is meaty and the chickpeas are slightly crunchy and the sauce adds warmth.
Myself and Halloumi are the bets of friends. I love cheese but halloumi is one of my favourites. It is salty, firm and a little bit chewy. However, if cooked wrong it can be squeaky and as dry as the sahara desert. So dry and salty that you would need to dunk yourself in the ocean to get over the dehydration. Ok..slight exaggeration.
I am feeeling so much better today. YAY! I can start living again. Woo! Isn't health such an enormous blessing? Something we take for granted everyday. I mean sometimes we don't realise how incredibly lucky we are to be able to do everyday things.
Anyway back to the wrap. It is healthy and filling. It is a great wrap to have when you want something substantial that fills you up but feels light. I do thin my hummus down in this recipe because i think this wrap needs something a little bit runny.
Please do try this recipe. It is so yummy!
