Preheat the oven to 200°C with the convection or grill function. Wash the red bell pepper, dry it, and place it whole on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake for about 20-25 minutes, turning it halfway through. The skin should become dark, even black in places, and covered with blisters. This is a sign that it is ready.

Preparation steps
Roasted Pepper Hummus
Remove the pepper from the oven and immediately transfer it to a glass bowl, covering it tightly with a plate or plastic wrap. Leave it for 10-15 minutes. The steam that collects inside will make the skin come off the flesh very easily. After this time, remove the skin with your fingers, discard the seeds and stem. Do not rinse the pepper under water to avoid losing the precious, aromatic juice.
Prepare a blender or food processor. Drain the canned chickpeas in a sieve and rinse thoroughly under cold running water. In the blender jar, place the peeled flesh of the roasted pepper, rinsed chickpeas, tahini paste, peeled garlic clove, lemon juice, olive oil, ground cumin, salt, and pepper. If you like spicier flavors, optionally add a pinch of chili flakes.
Blend all the ingredients on high speed for about 2-3 minutes, until you achieve a perfectly smooth, uniform mixture. During blending, take a break and use a silicone spatula to scrape the mixture from the sides of the container. If the hummus is too thick, add 1-2 tablespoons of cold water and blend again. Taste and season with salt or lemon juice if needed. Transfer the finished hummus to a bowl.
Preparation of Vegetables and Cheese
Wash and dry all the vegetables. Peel the cucumber and carrot. Using a sharp knife or mandoline, cut the cucumber and carrot into thin strips (julienne technique). Slice the radishes into very thin rounds. If necessary, rinse the salad mix and thoroughly dry it in a salad spinner or with paper towels. If using optional mint, separate the leaves from the stems.
Remove the halloumi cheese from the packaging and dry it very thoroughly with a paper towel. Cut the cheese into slices about 0.5-1 cm thick. Heat a grill pan or a regular non-stick pan over medium heat. Add a tablespoon of rapeseed oil. When the pan is well heated, place the cheese slices on it. Fry for about 2-3 minutes on each side until the cheese has golden-brown stripes and becomes soft.
Assembling the Wraps
Prepare the tortilla wraps. You can gently heat them in a dry skillet (for 15-20 seconds on each side) or in the microwave (for 10-15 seconds) to make them more flexible and easier to roll. Place the warm wrap on a clean cutting board or countertop.
In the center of each tortilla, spread a generous amount (about 2-3 tablespoons) of the prepared roasted red pepper hummus, leaving about 2-3 cm of free margin at the edges. On top of the hummus layer, place a handful of mixed salad greens – this will create a barrier protecting the tortilla from moisture from other ingredients. Next, arrange a portion of sliced vegetables: carrot sticks, cucumber, and radish slices. On top, place 2-3 slices of warm, grilled halloumi cheese. If using, sprinkle everything with fresh mint leaves.
Now the most important moment: rolling. First, fold the bottom edge of the tortilla inward, covering part of the filling. Next, while holding the bottom edge, fold in the left and right sides of the tortilla. Finally, pressing the filling firmly, roll the wrap tightly away from you, creating a neat, closed roll. Do the same with the remaining tortillas.
The finished wraps can be cut in half at an angle to beautifully showcase the colorful filling. Serve immediately while warm or wrap tightly in parchment paper and then in aluminum foil to take them to go. They also taste great after cooling.
Fun Fact
Halloumi cheese comes from Cyprus and is traditionally made from a mixture of sheep's and goat's milk. Its unique feature is its very high melting point, which makes it one of the few cheeses that can be easily fried or grilled without losing its shape.

Tips
To pack a wrap to go, first wrap it tightly in parchment paper, folding the ends like a candy. Then, for extra protection and to keep it warm, wrap it in aluminum foil. Cutting it in half before packing makes it easier to eat outdoors. It can be served with an extra portion of hummus for dipping or with a container of cherry tomatoes.
It's best to eat the wraps on the day they are prepared. If you want to prepare the ingredients in advance, store the hummus in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3-4 days, and keep the chopped vegetables in a separate container with a little water to maintain their crunch. Grill the halloumi cheese just before assembling the wrap. Assembled wraps can be stored in the fridge for up to 24 hours, but the tortilla may soften slightly.
