Hot Honey Halloumi Avocado Tacos (Print-Friendly Version)

Tangy halloumi, creamy avocado, mint yogurt, and pomegranate fill these quick, vibrant tortillas for any meal.

# What You Need:

→ Main Components

01 - 250 g halloumi cheese, sliced into strips
02 - 8 mini wheat tortillas
03 - 2 ripe avocados, halved, pitted and quartered
04 - 60 g arugula (rocket), rinsed and dried
05 - 50 g pomegranate seeds

→ Hot Honey Marinade

06 - 1 heaped teaspoon harissa paste
07 - 2 tablespoons runny honey
08 - 1 teaspoon red pepper flakes

→ Mint Yoghurt Sauce

09 - 60 ml Greek yoghurt (¼ cup)
10 - 10 g fresh mint, finely chopped

# How to Make It:

01 - Halve the avocados, remove the stones, and scoop the flesh into a bowl. Mash with a fork until smooth but retain some texture.
02 - Combine Greek yoghurt with chopped mint in a small bowl. If the mixture is too thick to drizzle, add a splash of cold water and stir until pourable.
03 - Cut halloumi block into even strips, ensuring they are not too thin to prevent breaking during frying. Pat dry with paper towels.
04 - In a medium bowl, mix harissa paste, honey, and red pepper flakes until fully combined.
05 - Add sliced halloumi to the bowl and coat evenly with the hot honey marinade. Reserve any excess marinade for cooking.
06 - Heat a non-stick frying pan over medium heat. Fry halloumi slices 3–4 minutes per side until each piece is golden brown and caramelized. Optionally, brush or spoon reserved marinade over halloumi as it cooks.
07 - Warm tortillas in a dry pan or grill pan until soft and lightly toasted, or heat in microwave for 30 seconds.
08 - Spread a quarter of the mashed avocado on each tortilla. Add a handful of arugula and arrange 2–3 pieces of caramelized halloumi per taco. Drizzle with mint yoghurt and scatter pomegranate seeds on top. Serve immediately.

# Important Notes:

01 - For best results, fry halloumi in a non-stick pan and avoid overcooking to preserve its tender texture.
02 - Prepare ingredients ahead for quick assembly; store components separately and combine fresh to serve.
