# Expert Advice:
01 -
- Crispy cheese meeting fresh crunch creates that perfect texture contrast everyone craves
- Ready in under 30 minutes but tastes like something from a fancy wrap shop
02 -
- Cold halloumi is rubbery so let it come to room temperature before cooking for the best texture
- Overcrowding the pan when frying halloumi makes it steam instead of sizzle so work in batches
03 -
- Pat the halloumi dry with paper towels before cooking to get that restaurant quality golden crust
- Let the wraps rest for a minute after rolling so the tortilla softens slightly from the warm fillings
