Ingredients
  

Group: Ingredients
  • 1 block halloumi cheese, ideally about 250g
  • 2 Tbsp. olive oil
  • 1 tsp. smoked paprika
  • 1 tsp. ground cumin
  • 1 medium avocado, sliced
  • 1 cup fresh cilantro, chopped
  • 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
  • 1 lime juiced
  • 4 small corn tortillas
  • salt and pepper, to taste

Equipment

  • Non-stick skillet
  • Aluminum foil
  • Large bowl
  • Spatula

Method
 

  1. Begin by slicing the halloumi into thick slabs, about half an inch each.
  2. In a bowl, combine the olive oil, smoked paprika, ground cumin, and a pinch of salt and pepper.
  3. Heat a large non-stick skillet over medium heat. Add your seasoned oil to the pan and carefully place the halloumi slices in the skillet. Sizzle for about 3-4 minutes on each side until golden brown and crisp.
  4. While the halloumi cooks, wrap the corn tortillas in aluminum foil and warm them in a preheated oven at 350°F for about 10-15 minutes.
  5. On each warm tortilla, lay down a slice of halloumi, followed by slices of avocado, halved cherry tomatoes, and fresh cilantro. Squeeze lime juice over the top.
  6. Serve immediately while the cheese is still warm, with extra lime wedges on the side.

Notes

For best texture, assemble the tacos just before serving. Leftovers can be stored in airtight containers for up to two days.
