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.

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

I hope you love these halloumi tacos. Please leave me a comment and rating if you do!

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.

Prep Time15 mins

Total Time15 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.
