Cooking Instructions
1. Prepare the Potato Wedges
- Preheat your oven to 200°C (180°C fan)
- We recommend skin on wedges for optimum flavour. So start by washing your potatoes and then slicing them in half. Once sliced, lay each half cut-side down and cut lengthwise into quarters. You can opt for chunky wedges with 4 slices or slimmer wedges with additional cuts.
- Once prepped, toss the wedges in a bowl with olive oil and peri salt until well coated.
- On a lined baking tray, evenly spread your peri salted wedges.
- Place in your preheated oven and bake for 30-35 minutes, turning halfway, until golden and crispy.
2. Prepare the Salad
- Assemble the salad ingredients: lettuce, spinach, rocket, tomato, cucumber, and red onion. For extra flavour or filling, you can also add sliced avocado and fresh coriander.
3. Fry the Halloumi
- Slice Owton’s halloumi into 1cm thick strips.
- Toss halloumi slices in 2tbsp of peri peri sauce (the level of heat is up to you).
- Heat a non-stick frying pan over medium-high heat and add a splash of olive oil.
- Fry the halloumi slices for 2-3min each side, until golden and crispy. Once perfectly grilled, set the cooked halloumi aside.
4. Make Garlic Yoghurt Mayo (Optional)
- Mix yoghurt, mayonnaise, minced garlic, lemon juice, salt and pepper for a perfect dipping sauce.
5. Assemble the Wraps
- Warm wraps in a microwave or pan for 20sec.
- Spread each wrap with garlic yoghurt mayo or a thin layer of sweet chilli jam.
- Layer mixed salad, cucumber, tomato, and onion.
- Add the peri peri halloumi.
- Drizzle with extra peri sauce and sweet chilli jam.
- Fold and roll the wrap tightly.
6. Serve Your Homemade Nando’s Style Halloumi Wraps
- Cut the wraps in half and serve immediately with the hot and crispy peri salt potato wedges.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I grill the halloumi instead of frying it?
Yes, halloumi can be grilled for a smokier flavour and less oil. Slice thickly and grill for 2-3min per side until golden and crisp.
What’s the best way to keep halloumi from sticking to the pan?
Preheat your non-stick pan well and use a little olive oil. Avoid overcrowding aand cook halloumi in batches if necessary.
Can I make these wraps gluten-free?
Absolutely! Substitute regular wraps with certified gluten-free wraps and double-check the peri sauce and chilli jam labels for gluten-containing ingredients.
Can I swap out the salad ingredients?
Yes! Use any fresh salad mix you like. Try rocket, spinach, red peppers, or avocado for a different flavour and personalise with herbs or spicy additions as preferred.
Can I add more protein to these wraps?
Yes, add extra grilled vegetables, beans, or chickpeas to the salad for a protein boost while keeping it vegetarian. Or, slice up Owton’s British chicken breast into tasty strips that can be marinated and fried in peri peri sauce.
