Halloumi Tacos with Avocado Sauce (15 minutes!)

Easy avocado and halloumi tacos that come together in less than 15 minutes! These delicious vegetarian tacos are a great weeknight dinner or quick lunch.

Easy avocado and halloumi tacos recipe

The list of ingredients is short and the steps are easy. Plus, we are talking about avocado and halloumi on warm tortillas - what’s not to love?

Tacos make people happy. Set up a taco bar and you’ll find nothing but smiling faces surrounding you. This taco recipe is an old favorite of mine.

I call them Guac Halloumi Tacos even though that’s not entirely correct. In place of guacamole, I  use an avocado-sauce that’s even easier to make.

Easy avocado sauce

This easy avocado sauce aka avocado crema requires only 3 ingredients: avocados, lime juice and sour cream. No garlic, no onions, no cilantro. It’s a terrific dip and spread that I use for everything – tortilla chips, veggie sticks, quesadillas, burritos and tacos.

This quick avocado sauce tastes fresh and bright but at the same time creamy and rich. You don’t even have to dirty a food processor to make it.

Taco toppings

I love to keep it simple. These tacos are topped with:

  • a generous smear of creamy avocado sauce
  • grilled or pan fried halloumi cheese
  • a diced nectarine, peach, mango, or pineapple
  • cilantro, fresh lime juice, and mayo if using, to finish

Halloumi Tacos with Avocado Sauce (15 minutes!)

Super easy halloumi tacos with creamy avocado sauce that come together in less than 15 minutes! These delicious vegetarian tacos are a great weeknight dinner or quick lunch.
Author: carbgirl.com
Prep Time20 minutes mins
Total Time20 minutes mins
Yield: 3 servings

Ingredients

  • 1 nectarine (peach, mango, or pineapple taste great too)
  • 4.4 ounces (125 g) halloumi (use double the amount for loaded tacos)
  • 9 small wheat tortillas, 5 inch / 12 cm

Avocado sauce:

  • 2 small avocados
  • 1 tablespoon full fat sour cream
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lime juice
  • ¼ teaspoon fine sea salt

Garnish:

  • fresh cilantro
  • lime wedges
  • mayonnaise (optional)

Instructions

  • Pit and dice nectarine. Set aside.
  • Pat halloumi dry with a paper towel and cut it into thick slices. Grill or dry fry the cheese in a skillet according to the package instructions. When golden brown, transfer the halloumi to a cutting board and cube it. While the cheese is grilling, make the sauce.
  • Avocado sauce: Pit avocados and mash them in a small bowl. Stir in the sour cream, lime juice, and salt. Taste and adjust seasoning. Cover and set aside.
  • Briefly heat tortillas – either on the grill or in a dry (no oil) skillet on the stove-top. You can also char the tortillas directly over the gas flames for a few seconds using tongs. To keep them warm, transfer them to a plate or bowl, and cover with a clean dishtowel until all tortillas are warmed.
  • Assemble tacos: Spread each tortilla with avocado sauce. Top with diced halloumi and nectarine.
  • Place some mayonnaise into a ziploc bag and cut the tip off to drizzle onto the tacos. Garnish with cilantro and serve with lime wedges.

    Can’t never be wrong with avocado, but the nectarines add the special extra. Tried it, liked it, five stars! Cheers, Polly
