Halloumi Enchiladas
These easy halloumi enchiladas will be the perfect midweek dinner when you are craving Mexican flavors! Beans and lightly fried halloumi are rolled in tortillas, baked until crisp, and smothered with smoky enchilada sauce for a tasty and hearty vegetarian meal.
Ingredients
- 8 oz halloumi, cut into 10 strips (cut once widthways, then 5x lengthways)
- 1 cup refried beans, a little less than 1 can
- 1 can (350 ml) enchilada sauce, see notes
- 10 corn tortillas, 13-15cm (5-6 inch) size
Instructions
- Heat a thin layer of olive oil in a frying pan, then lightly fry your halloumi strips until they are just barely starting to brown. Don't cook them any more than this or they might dry out when they go into the oven.
- Heat a tortilla individually (either in a dry frying pan or over a naked flame) for a few moments to soften it up and make it pliable. Cover with a smear of refried beans, then add one strip of halloumi and roll it up. Place in the pan and repeat until all of the halloumi is used up.
- Once all of the enchiladas are rolled and in the pan, brush lightly with oil and place in the oven for 15 minutes, until the tortillas are lightly browned and crisp.
- Pour the sauce over the top of the enchiladas and place in the oven for an additional 5 minutes until the sauce is piping hot.
- Remove from the oven, add your toppings and serve immediately.
Notes
Servings: This makes 10 enchiladas which is, admittedly, an awkward number to portion off. I've said 4 servings which would give you 2x adult sized servings and 2x kid sized servings, but if you're feeding 4 adults you may wish to scale the recipe up and make more enchiladas.
Enchilada sauce amounts: Different brands tend to come in different sizes so don't worry too much about getting the measurements right here. You just want one small can (10-14oz, 280-400g sized) and if you feel like you don't need it all, save some.
