Honey lime halloumi
- 225 g (8 oz) halloumi , cubed (cut in half widthways, then cut each side into 12 squares to make 24 total cubes)
- 2 Tbsp honey
- ½ tsp smoked paprika
- ½ tsp cumin
- Zest and juice of 1/2 lime
Slaw
- 1 handful red cabbage , thinly sliced
- ¼ small - medium red onion, thinly sliced
- Juice of 1/2 lime
- 1 handful cilantro (fresh coriander), chopped
- 1 tsp olive oil
- salt and pepper, to taste
For serving
- 6-8 small tortillas, ideally corn, but flour is fine
- 1 avocado, sliced or cubed
- 80 g (½ cup) pomegranate seeds

Instructions
- First, prepare the slaw. Add the red cabbage and onion slices to a bowl, squeeze in the lime juice and drizzle the oil on top, and toss to combine. Finally, mix in the cilantro (coriander).1 handful red cabbage, 1/4 small - medium red onion, Juice of 1/2 lime, 1 tsp olive oil, salt and pepper, 1 handful cilantro (fresh coriander)
- Prepare the honey glaze by whisking together all ingredients in a bowl.2 Tbsp honey, 1/2 tsp smoked paprika, Zest and juice of 1/2 lime, 1/2 tsp cumin
- Cook the halloumi. Heat a very thin layer of olive oil in a frying pan, over a medium heat. Fry the cubes of halloumi until they're golden on most sides. Remove the halloumi, quickly wipe down the pan with paper towel (kitchen roll), and then put the halloumi straight back into the pan. Add the honey glaze and let it bubble up, thicken and coat the halloumi cubes.225 g halloumi
- Serve! Add four cubes of halloumi to each tortilla and top with all of the toppings as desired. You can add some extra lime wedges too if you wish. This comfortably makes 6 tacos, but you can stretch it to 8 very easily by only adding three cubes per taco.6-8 small tortillas, 1 avocado, 80 g pomegranate seeds, lime wedges
