Instructions
 

  • Make Mango Pico de Gallo
  • Combine mango, chili, onion, lime zest, and juice in a bowl. Season with salt - this is the only element of this dish that should be made just before serving.
  • Make Jalapeño Avocado Crema
  • Remove charred skin and seeds from jalapeño, Blend charred jalapeño, avocado, lime juice, garlic, salt, and coriander until smooth (I use a stick blender in a jar for super quick clean up).
  • Cook Halloumi
  • Pan-fry halloumi in a skillet with a little olive oil over medium heat for 2-3 minutes per side until golden.
  • Char the Tortillas
  • Heat tortillas until warm and lightly charred - these can be wrapped in a clean tea towel to keep warm.
  • Assemble Tacos
  • Top each tortilla with shredded cabbage, halloumi, mango Pico de Gallo, and avocado crema. Add pickled red onion if using and serve immediately. Enjoy!

Notes

 
Optional to serve
