Step-by-Step Instructions for Spicy Honey Halloumi Tacos
  1. Start by patting the halloumi slices dry with a paper towel to ensure they crisp up beautifully during cooking.

  3. Heat olive oil in a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat until it shimmers.
  4. Carefully add the halloumi slices to the skillet, cooking for 2-3 minutes on each side.
  5. Drizzle half of the spicy honey mixture over the sizzling cheese.
  6. Warm the tortillas until soft and pliable in a separate pan or microwave.
  7. Layer the crispy halloumi onto each warm tortilla, then top with shredded red cabbage and slices of ripe avocado.
  8. Drizzle the reserved spicy honey mixture over the assembled tacos.
  9. Serve your Spicy Honey Halloumi Tacos while they are warm.
