Servings:
8 Tacos
Ingredients
  • 3 tablespoons olive oil, divided
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • 1 teaspoon oregano
  • 1 teaspoon cumin
  • ½ teaspoon chili flakes
  • 2 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1 pound halloumi cheese, sliced
  • 10 ounces corn kernels
  • ½ cup cilantro
  • 2 small avocados, diced
  • 9 ounces cherry tomatoes, diced
  • juice of 1 lime
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • ¼ teaspoon pepper
  • 1 tablespoon honey
  • 8 small tortillas
Directions
  1. In a shallow bowl, combine 1 tablespoon of olive oil, paprika, oregano, cumin, chili flakes, and minced garlic cloves. Mix well to create the marinade.
  2. Add the halloumi slices to the marinade. Toss the halloumi until evenly coated. Allow it to marinate for 10 minutes.
  3. Meanwhile, place a pan over medium-high heat. Add the corn kernels and cook, stirring occasionally, until they become slightly charred and golden brown. Remove from heat and transfer the corn to a large mixing bowl. Allow the corn to cool.
  4. Preheat the oven to 350 F.
  5. Roughly chop half of the cilantro. Add that, the diced avocados, and diced tomatoes to the bowl with the corn.
  6. Then drizzle over the remaining 2 tablespoons of olive oil, squeeze over the lime, and season with salt and pepper. Toss gently to combine and set aside.
  7. Place a frying pan over medium-high heat. Add the marinated halloumi pieces to the pan and cook for 2-3 minutes on each side or until golden brown.
  8. Once the halloumi is cooked, turn off the heat and drizzle over the honey. Toss to coat the halloumi with the caramelizing honey. Set aside.
  9. Wrap the tortillas in foil and warm them in the preheated oven for a few minutes.
  10. To assemble the tacos, add generous spoonful of the charred corn and avocado salsa to each warm tortilla. Then top with the halloumi slices. Garnish with the remaining cilantro.
  11. Serve the halloumi tacos right away.
