Chef Notes & Swaps
- Spice level: Increase harissa or add crushed red pepper.
- Lean swap: Use 1 oz halloumi per wrap or swap in reduced-fat feta.
- Lower carb: Use low-carb pita/wrap or serve as a salad over extra arugula.
- Make-ahead: Cook chicken + sauce up to 3–4 days ahead. Sear halloumi fresh for best texture.
