Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 8 oz Halloumi cheese
- 4-5 corn or flour tortillas
- 1 large tomato, chopped
- 2 tablespoons diced onion (red or white)
- Handful of cilantro
Sauce
- 2 tablespoons Greek yogurt
- 1 tablespoon adobo sauce
- 1 teaspoon fresh lime juice
Instructions
- Slice the Halloumi: Slice the block of halloumi cheese into 8-10 thin slices to ensure even cooking and a great crispy texture when fried.
- Cook the Halloumi: Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add the halloumi slices. Cook for about 5 minutes until the bottom side is nicely browned and golden.
- Flip and Finish Cooking: Flip the halloumi slices and continue cooking for another 4-5 minutes until both sides are evenly golden brown and the cheese is slightly crispy on the outside.
- Prepare the Sauce: While the halloumi is cooking, mix Greek yogurt, adobo sauce, and fresh lime juice in a small bowl to create a creamy, tangy, and slightly spicy sauce.
- Assemble the Tacos: Spread 1-2 teaspoons of the prepared sauce onto each tortilla evenly for flavor.
- Add Toppings: Place the cooked halloumi slices on top of the sauce, then add chopped tomato, diced onion, and a handful of fresh cilantro to finish the tacos.
Notes
- If you prefer a spicier kick, increase the amount of adobo sauce in the yogurt mixture.
- Corn tortillas keep the tacos gluten-free, while flour tortillas offer a softer texture.
- For a smoky flavor, lightly toast the tortillas in the skillet before assembling.
- Halloumi holds up well to pan-frying but avoid overcrowding the skillet for even browning.
- Serve immediately for the best texture and flavor as halloumi tends to firm up when cooled.
