Step-by-Step Instructions for Spicy Honey Halloumi Tacos
  1. Pat dry the halloumi slices with a paper towel to remove excess moisture.

  3. Heat olive oil in a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat for about 1-2 minutes.
  4. Cook the halloumi slices for 2-3 minutes on each side until golden brown and crispy.
  5. Drizzle half of the honey marinade over the halloumi while cooking and let it caramelize for about a minute.
  6. Warm the tortillas in a separate pan or microwave for about 20-30 seconds.
  7. Assemble each taco with crispy halloumi, shredded red cabbage, avocado slices, and chopped cilantro.
  8. Drizzle the remaining honey marinade over the assembled tacos and add sour cream or Greek yogurt if desired.
  9. Serve immediately with lime wedges on the side.
